Book Description — HORMUZ: The Strait That Powers the World
Twenty-one miles wide. One-fifth of the world's oil. The Strait of Hormuz is the most consequential chokepoint on Earth — and the most dangerous. In this gripping geopolitical analysis, Elias Maren traces the history, geography, and volatile power politics surrounding the passage that holds the global economy hostage. From Iran's asymmetric military doctrine to the supertankers navigating contested waters, Hormuz delivers a clear-eyed examination of why this narrow strip of water between Iran and Oman commands the attention of every navy, oil market, and foreign ministry on the planet. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the hidden geography of global power.
