We Fight for Oil. The History of America's Oil Wars

John Coleman, a former British intelligence officer, believes that any military conflict has exclusively economic prerequisites, no matter how grandiose speeches are delivered from high tribunes. His book «We Fight for Oil» is the history of America's involvement in the struggle for the supply of petroleum products on the world market, starting from the American invasion of Mexico up to 2008. For more than 30 years, the 7 largest Anglo-Saxon oil companies (the «Seven Sisters» cartel) controlled 85% of the world's oil reserves. With the emergence of OPEC, their dominance decreased, weakening the influence of Britain and the United States.
