Oil, Power & Empire:
Iraq and the U.S. Global Agenda
is one of the books which influenced Oliver Stone's new movie "W".

The script was influenced by Bob Woodward's book on Bush, State of Denial, among other tomes including State of War by James Risen and Oil, Power & Empire by Larry Everest.

“Stanley plunged into the vast amount of Bush books,” Stone says. “The investigative reporters who did this deserve the credit and we thank them. They helped us look past the window of the Bush Administration.” -Chicago Sun-Times.

– Daniel Ellsberg, author of Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers

The most thorough and reliable critique of U.S. policy toward Iraq available. Eminently reasonable and coherently argued ... Read this book--now.

This unique volume compiles in one place a history of US intervention against Iraq and the devastating consequences for the people and the region. It shows the ways in which war today is a continuation of that history, but also a radical leap to more direct military control in Iraq and around the world. The “Bush Doctrine” is both built on our imperial history and yet new and far more dangerous. [more...]
