"This is not a Michael Moore-style anti-corporate rant-Shah writes
beautifully, with dispassionate, elegant clarity-and it is all the
more powerful for it." -The Guardian
"Sonia Shah deftly [shows] how the oil companies' relentless
pursuit of new fields to exploit has led them to drill for oil in
some of the most impoverished and unstable areas of the world ...
particularly eloquent on the despoliation of the Delta region of
southern Nigeria." -Michael Klare, The Nation
"Though Shah could have easily written a laundry list on the
disruptions Big Oil and its government cohorts continue to wreak,
this volume is more than that-it is an insightful missive to her
readers to understand their consumptive reality." -Clamor
