One the best introductions to peak oil. Particularly good on USA and UK politics. ( )

Despite the histrionic title this is a remarkable book. Not only is it full of accurate, up to date and important information about peak oil, it is entirely entertaining and impossible to put down. Written by an investigative journalist, he explains concepts and ideas about peak oil in a way that are fully understandable to the lay reader, and very entertaining - I read it in 3 sittings over a day and a half. Highly recommended. I had to import it from Amazon.ca (Canada) into the US as it's not available for sale here but it should and hopefully will be. ( )
