Oil is the source of wealth and economic opportunity. Oil is also
the root source of global conflict, toxicity and economic
disparity. When did oil become such a powerful commodity-during,
and in the immediate aftermath of, the First World War. In his
groundbreaking book The First World Oil War, Timothy C. Winegard
argues that beginning with the First World War, oil became the
preeminent commodity to safeguard national security and promote
domestic prosperity. For the first time in history, territory was
specifically conquered to possess oil fields and resources; vital
cogs in the continuation of the industrialized warfare of the
Twentieth Century. This original and pioneering study analyzes the
evolution of oil as a catalyst for both war and diplomacy, and
connects the events of the First World War to contemporary
petroleum geo-politics and international aggression.
