Mackenzie Investments and The Globe and Mail present Peter Maass  

Is oil's real power that it worsens existing problems or creates new ones?  Peter Maass' new book, Crude World: The Violent Twilight of Oil, has been hailed by everyone from The Economist to USA Today ("first-rate reporting and superb writing"), to Robert Redford, who said: "Crude World gets its energy from Peter Maass’ exhaustive investigation and first-hand experience and results in an illuminating narrative of the true impact of the global dependence on oil."  His engaging historic perspective brings clarity to what should come next.  Peter Maass is a contributing writer at The New York Times and writes regularly for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Outside and Slate.
