Untapped

The Scramble for Africa’s Oil

John Ghazvinian

John Ghazvinian, born in Iran and rased in London and Los Angeles, spoke to warlords, oil executives and cab drivers as he chased down this hard-hitting story of oil and where we get it.

Until now, extracting African oil has not seemed worth it. Given advances in technology, war in the Gulf, skyrocketing gas prices and controversy over Alaskan drilling, however, Africa has become a potential goldmine. Untapped is Ghazvinian’s investigation of the scramble for oil in West Africa as we attempt to offset our oil dependency on the Middle East.

John Ghazvinian (California) has written for Newsweek and the New York Sun and lectures at universities in Britain and the U.S.
