"Eland beautifully weaves history and economics to tell a
compelling and, more importantly, true story. He has hit a home
run." --David R. Henderson, associate professor of economics, Naval
Postgraduate School
"In [No War for Oil], Eland provides a catalog of sharply argued
rebuttals of the many myths that pervade Americans understanding of
oil and national security. His comprehensive, methodical
presentation will be very useful for reorienting the policy debate
to firm, analytical ground . . . the book convincingly presents the
case for substantial changes in American foreign policy." --Eugene
Gholz, professor, University of Texas
"No War for Oil is a tour de force of history, myth-busting, and
sturdy policy analysis. It is at once an excellent overview of the
development and quirks of the world oil market, a slaying of eleven
monstrous but widely believed falsehoods, and a description of how
and why our wars for 'energy independence' have had quite the
opposite effect. . . . This book could not be more valuable or more
timely." --Michael C. Munger, professor of political science,
public policy, and economics, Duke University
"Here at long last is a book that explodes all of the myths
underlying the use of military force to protect the global flow of
oil. [No War for Oil] not only provides an invaluable account of
the misguided policies that have led to ever-increasing U.S.
military involvement in the Middle East, but also shows how the
demilitarization of U.S. energy policy would better serve the
nation's long-term interests." --Michael T. Klare, professor of
peace and world security studies, Hampshire College
