Title: Vital Background for Today's Issues
Product review: In order to understand the current geopolitical situation in the Middle East, one needs a good grounding in the region's history. "Blood and Oil" provides an outstanding overview of the regional issues, from World War I to the present. Commentary by subject matter experts, as well as interesting historical footage, help to bring the information to life. Ever since my first viewing, I have recommended this film to *anyone* who says they don't know why the US is in the Middle East. I've watched the film twice since then, and have finally bought my own copy. Truly an outstanding work.
