Fuel on the Fire Book Tour: Oil and the occupation of Iraq
Saturday 28 January 2012 | Hexham
In December 2011 the last US troops finally withdrew from Iraq, after nearly nine years, leaving a broken country and a host of unanswered questions. Oil has been one of the taboos of the war, despite its central role in Iraqi politics and economy. The talk will explain how strategic interests in oil lay behind the war, though not in the way most people thought, and how oil shaped the politics of the occupation. And it will share the inspiring story of Iraqi trade unions and other civil society groups how struggled against the occupiers' agendas.

Three years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, governments are squeezing communities to ensure business as usual for an increasingly feral elite.
