Iraq and the Politics of Oil - An Insider's Perspective
by Gary Vogler; 318 pages; University Press of Kansas, 2017. Available on amazon.com (hardcover - $21.71) and
barnesandnoble.com (hardcover - $22.74).
Was the Iraq war really about oil? As a senior oil advisor for the Office for Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance
(ORHA) and briefly as minister of oil, Gary Vogler thought he knew. But while doing research for a book about his
experience in Iraq, Vogler discovered that what he knew was not the whole story-or even the true story. The Iraq war did
have an oil agenda underlying it, one that Vogler had previously denied. This book is his attempt to set the record straight.
Gary Vogler is president of Howitzer Consulting, LLC. From December 2006 to September 2011, he was a senior oil
consultant for U.S. Forces in Iraq, and before that he served as deputy senior oil advisor, CPA, for Baghdad, and as
senior oil advisor, ORHA, for the Pentagon, Kuwait, and Baghdad. Vogler, a former U.S. Army officer, has also worked in
management positions at ExxonMobil and Mobil Oil Corporations for more than two decades. He is also a current trustee
of the CGSC Foundation.
