Abstract
With the twentieth century, oil became essential for war. Britain and Germany sought to assure their national requirements independently of the other great powers. Both failed. Germany lost two world wars. Britain won its wars but lost its peacetime dominance of the world economy. Oil and the Great Powers, by Anand Toprani, is a deeply researched and readable account of the role of oil in the twentieth century rivalry of the great powers. I discuss its findings from the perspective that every commodity, no matter how important, has at least some inessential uses.
