New Zealand-based writer, Andrew Scott Cooper, discusses his new book that uses previously classified documents to expose the role of oil in American foreign policy. The book has been praised particularly for shedding light on the surprising U.S.-Iran relationship during the Nixon and Ford administrations.

As uprisings today rock the Muslim world, with America at war across the region, Andrew Cooper transports us back to the decade where it all began. Join us for this intriguing look into the time when oil first became a global weapon, driving, even corrupting, U.S. domestic and international policy, and the influence it still has on events at home and abroad today.
