Oil was a basic source of conflict between the United States and
Japan. This book examines the role played by the Standard-Vacuum
Oil Company in the crisis that led to Pearl Harbor. "Stanvac" was
the largest American supplier of oil to Japan and represented the
single largest American direct investment in Asia before the war.
In the context of Stanvac's relations with various governments, the
author examines the ways in which United States petroleum policy
was formulated and the arrangements by which Japan sought to
increase its oil reserves. He provides new insight into the impact
of the financial freeze of July 1941, the origins of the Pacific
War, and the complexities of oil diplomacy. Originally published in
1975. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
