"Internal Combustion" is a compelling tale of the intrigue and manipulation that has led the world to an avoidable oil addiction that can be ended today. Using thousands of previously uncovered documents, Edwin Black traces energy cartels and special interests back nearly 5,000 years, from the little-known efforts of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford to mass-produce electric cars; through the oil-lobby's killing of synthetic fuels and other alternatives, to the present day oil crisis and beyond. Black showcases overlooked alternatives that could eliminate oil usage, and he offers an energized plan to kick our oil habit."Internal Combustion" has already contributed to a much-needed national debate at a crucial time. It aims to change everything, not by reinventing the wheel, but by excavating it from where it was buried a century ago.
Edwin Black is the award-winning, " New York Times" bestselling journalist and author of five previous books, including" IBM and the Holocaust" and" War Against the Weak." He has been nominated nine times for the Pulitzer Prize, and three times for the National Book Award. "Internal Combustion" won the Harmony Green Globes Award for Best Environmental Book, the Thomas Edison award, and best nonfiction book award from the American Society of Journalists and Authors. His books have been published in fifty-six editions, in fourteen languages, in sixty-one countries, and he has appeared on scores of major news and current events TV and radio shows, worldwide including" Oprah!, " the" Today Show"," " NBC's "Dateline, " and CNN's" Wolf Blitzer Reports, "as well as numerous documentaries.
