Oil Books

Via Instapunit, Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy – which has the theory that the Saudis are running out of oil (not likely IMHO, if they were their behavior would be much different)

Via the too shrill Huffington Post, Secrets of the Kingdom – which has as one of it’s major points the contention that the Saudis have rigged the entire country with explosive and radiological material as an incentive for everyone to stay on their good side. Again, not that likely, but interesting. It is written by Gerald Posner who usually does fine work.
