Gas War: The Truth Behind the American Occupation of Afghanistan
Current Events Expose, 2003
Writer Club Paperback, 6″x9″, 140 pp., $10.95
Here’s the book George W. Bush doesn’t want you to read! Ted Rall’s new GAS WAR: THE TRUTH BEHIND THE AMERICAN OCCUPATION OF AFGHANISTAN (136 pp., $10.95) is now available. Certain to become one of the most controversial books of the year and the result of painstaking research and analysis, GAS WAR proves that the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan was solely motivated by the Bush Administration’s desire to control Caspian Sea oil and gas reserves–specifically, to establish a U.S. puppet regime that would permit the construction of a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to Pakistan via Afghanistan. It’s also the first comprehensive look at the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline project conceived by Unocal Corporation during the 1990s and its revival under the Hamid Karzai regime. Every American should know that the “war on terrorism” is a fraud, that they’re far less safe than they were before 9/11 and that their armed forces were misused for a misguided attempt to line the pockets of Bush Administration cronies. Timely, hard-hitting and sure to be talked about, GAS WAR is a must for anyone who cares about the effects of American foreign policy. Includes cartoons, charts and maps.
