Tan wraps, stapled. Typescript text with two reproductions from industry publications.

Published in January, 1980, very much at the height of the oil crisis which saw Americans in lines to get expensive and often rationed gasoline. "The American people are being held hostage by the oil producing nations of the world. They are aided and abetted by the major oil corporations." (rear cover). An uncommon title, we find but a single holding in OCLC, at the Cole Library in Iowa.
