520			_aThe oil Road is a travelogue in pursuit of oil. Rising from the Caspian sea we tracked BP's pipeline westwards over the Caucasus Mountain and Anatolian plateau before it descends to the Turkish coast. As the oil was carried onwards abroad through further pipes, so our journey continued across the Mediterranean and the Alps, to Bavaria and London. From the revolutionary futurism of 1920s, Baku to the unblinking capitalism of our city, the drive to control oil reserves- and hence people and events has shattered nature and shaped societies. The stupendous wealth of Azerbaijani crude has long inspired dreams of a world remade. Thus this book travels through both time and space, exploring a landscape of power, resistance and profit.
