It's the Crude, Dude: War, Big Oil and the Fight for the Planet
by Linda McQuaig
2004 346p.
Yes, it's heavily crude, this oil business, and there'll be at
least for more years of Cheney and the gang to ladle it out to
the world. Enough oil industry deceit, cynicism, racism,
manipulation, violence and aggression in this expose to arouse
citizens to action, Linda McQuaig hopes.

Making a Killing: How and Why Corporations Use Armed Force to do
Business
By Madelaine Drohan 2004
From the Hudson Bay Company in North America to Cecil Rhodes in
Africa and Krupp in Europe the drive to profit has used armed
force. Drohan exposes today's sordid examplars, like Canada's
own Talisman, as they pay mercenaries and warlords to do the
dirty work of killing and maiming for economic gain. If you need
evidence about why some companies are worse than others and how
to clean them up, read Drohan's sad but important chronicle of
corporate malfeasance.
