The article presents information on several books. "The World Struggle for Oil," by Pierre I'Espagnol de la Tramerye,"The Oil Trusts and Anglo-American Relations," by E. H. Davenport and Sidney Russell Cooke,"Oil and the Germs of War," by Scott Nearing and "Die Weltinteressen der englischen Petroleumindustrie," by Sydney Jessen. Modern war is fought with oil. Aviation is impossible without it; gasoline-driven motor trucks feed the land armies; and the navies have turned from coal to oil. Modern industry increasingly depends upon oil. Fifty years ago the world got along with ten million barrels of crude oil a year; ten years ago it used four hundred million barrels; this year the production will be close to a billion barrels.
