　　Although Africa has long been known to be rich in oil,

extracting it hadnt seemed worth the effort and risk until

recently. But with the price of Middle Eastern crude oil

skyrocketing and advancing technology making reserves easier to

tap, the region has become the scene of a competition between major

powers that recalls the nineteenth-century scramble for

colonization there. But what does this giddy new oil boom meanfor

America, for the world, for Africans themselves? John Ghazvinian

traveled through twelve African countriesfrom Sudan to Congo to

Angolatalking to warlords, industry executives, bandits, activists,

priests, missionaries, oil-rig workers, scientists, and ordinary

people whose lives have been transformednot necessarily for the

betterby the riches beneath their feet. The result is a high-octane

narrative that reveals the challenges, obstacles, reasons for

despair, and reasons for hope emerging from the worlds newest

energy hot spot.
