"The author of this timely book, formerly an economist for Exxon's Asian- 

 African affiliate and now president of his own consulting firm specializing in 

 energy matters, asserts that there is actually no energy crisis in the sense of a 

 physical shortage of hydrocarbon fuel resources. Instead, an artifically con- 

 trived scarcity has been created by certain "forces" (viz., the international 

 oil companies) operating within the overall framework of the world capitalist 

 economy. From this premise the author then undertakes a multifaceted 

 analysis by examining these oil companies' relationships to their home gov- 

 ernments (especially the United .States), the OPEC countries, and the oil- 

 consuming nations, as well as the prospects for energy in a rational world."

"This book "looks at the world energy problems from a political view- 

 point." The author holds that "the political process operating within and 

 among nations will determine the future of the world energy situation. This 

 book probes these political processes from World War II to the present, 

 anal3'zing the major international political issues, such as national security, 

 the world economy, and the global environment, that have affected the 

 present situation." The author assesses ". . . whether a harmonious 

 pattern of international relationships is possible, and also considers the 

 development of international institutions to manage the world energy 

 problems in the future."
