Iraq's Oil - The People's Struggle against Oil Companies' Covets (Information Series 48)

Descripción

Original wraps 14 x 21 cm. Printed by the Al Jamhouriya Printing Press, Baghdad. 208pp. Covers good with scuffing towards the spine tail. Interiors very good with some creasing. A label inside the front wrap states "This book is one of a collection donated by Morris International Associates in memory of the company's founder writer and publisher Claud Morris". This is quite scarce, with 23 copies located on Worldcat and Jisc. The opening statement reads: "A historical review of the 'Concession System' under which Iraq Petroleum Company (I.P.C.) and those other Companies which preceded or collaborated with it had been exploiting oil resources would suffice to illustrate the image of the huge blackmail suffered by the people of Iraq, and the other peoples whose resources were maintained in the grip of the foreign companies". This work celebrates the Baathist government's nationalisation of the oil industry in 1972, and by way of justification, presents its view of the history of its oil industry up until then, starting with the Turkish and IPC concessions. An appendix reprints the nationalisation Law with President Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr's accompanying statement. It also includes the Agreement between Iraq and the oil companies; and Iraq's agreements with Syria and Lebanon for transporting through their territories. N° de ref. del artículo 4191
