"...war without oil would be unimaginable."

Article details the birth of Anglo-Persia Oil Company, through the World Wars, through its role in "Operation Ajax" and the 1953 coup in Iran to reinstall the Shah, through its acquisitions of ARCO and Amoco in the US, to its more recent fatal mishaps in Alaska and Texas.

The quote above is an ominous line from BP's role in fueling the British and Allied war machine of WWII.
