Internal Combustion

" As usual, Edwin Black puts all his readers in his debt by his lucid, dramatic and thought-provoking discoveries. "Internal Combustion" is a story that should be read by everyone concerned about the strange realities of our modern world. An indispensable contribution to the story of oil and travel: the twin pillars of our modern dilemma. A true page turner. "Sir Martin Gilbert, author" "A History of the Twentieth Century, "and" Churchill: A Life "and" First World War" " ... an explosive, eye-opening expose of the corporate forces that has for more than a century sabotaged the creation of alternative energies and vehicles in order to keep us dependent on oil. There is enough truth in this book to revolutionize our way of life." "Max Wallace, author" "American Axis: Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, and the Rise of the Third Reich" " Edwin Black... recounts the deplorable history of how alternative fuels and vehicles were squeezed out of the market throughout the 20th century in favor of highly polluting petroleum-based products. The chain of events recounted in "Internal Combustion" reveals one of the sleaziest actions ever taken for financial gain-- it has resulted in increasing and continuing public health and political problems for the people of the world.
