"Stone oil," "black gold," "the blood of the earth"... so many names coined in the agonizing attempt to comprehend the nature of this mysterious, dark substance. People knew about oil as early as the Bronze Age, but only 150 years ago did it become a critical resource—a resource capable of shifting the boundaries of states, raising and crushing ideologies, destroying peoples—and shaping the future.

Political scientist Leonid Krutakov explains in detail (step by step) how carbohydrates were replaced by hydrocarbons, how a small group of people set out to seize control of the earth's resources, and how a new world model was created within which modern civilization is forced to develop.

The untold story of oil is a story of unprecedented greatness, a story of oppression and suffering brought upon the world by what we ironically call "mineral resources."
