Crude World: An interview with Peter Maass

The World

Author Peter Maass has spent eight years trying to understand the politics and economy of oil production across the globe. The result is his new book, Crude World: The Violent Twilight of Oil, in which Maass tries to explain what we do for oil and what oil does to us. Later today, anchor Jeb Sharp will have an interview with Peter Maass.
