Energy And International War: From Babylon To Baghdad And Beyond - Singer, Clifford E (Univ Of Illinois At Urbana-champaign, Usa)

Will international wars where energy resources play a central role continue to hold sway over life and death for industrialized nations, or is this a transient phase in the evolution of industrial societies? This book answers this question by tracing the history of energy and conflict from antiquity, through the epic hot and cold wars.
