Diaries of Fuad Rouhani

The Fuad Rouhani Diaries is a meticulous record of Rouhani's daily activities and experiences as the first Secretary-General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), 1961- 1964. Converging Rouhani's notes with the oil companies' records and the British, American, and French government archives editors Gholamreza Tadjbakhsh and Farrokh Najmabadi have brilliantly contextualized the diaries by prefacing the volume with a comprehensive account of the strategies and tactics employed by the OPEC member countries on one hand, and the oil companies and their supporting governments, on the other. The result is an enticing and informative study of petro-politics at the dawn of OPEC.
