Reseñas en medios

"[E]xcellent microanalysis…Strong on documentation and factual evidence, this high-quality volume will surely serve historians and those interested in the oil industry.…Highly recommended."
- Choice
"Any studying Middle East history or culture, particularly those at the college level, will find the weighty 560-page Mirage: Power, Politics, and the Hidden History of Arabian Oil to be a methodical and important survey of the discovery, development and use of Middle Eastern oil…An in-depth, essential pick for any collection solid in Middle Eastern studies and issues."

- Midwest Book Review
"The book is extensively researched, and written so well…very readable and interesting."

- Books-On-Line.com
"Well researched, well written, and eminently readable. I have known some of the personalities mentioned, and also experienced the oil industries in the localities with which this study is concerned, but until I read it, the truth had not been clear to me."

Descripción:
Amherst, New York, U.S.A.: Prometheus Books, 2005. Book. New. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo. First edition. 8vo. Hard cover binding, 560 pp. In this history of the discovery, development, and exploitation of Middle Eastern oil, a former Arab Gulf reporter for Time and Fortune tells a largely unknown story rich in drama, conflict, and comic interludes, revealing how even as late as the end of World War I experts insisted "there is no oil in Arabia." Indeed, the fabulously rich oilfields of Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia remained untapped for years after they were discovered by a New Zealander named Frank Holmes, a figure still downplayed in the West, but who has been honored by Arabs in the Gulf since the 1920s as Abu al-Naft "the Father of Oil." Aileen Keating explodes many myths here, including the notion that oil companies and geological experts knew there was oil in Arabia but kept it quiet to keep competitors away. New in new dustjacket..
