Öl – Das Blutige Geschäft

This is for the readers of my blog who speak German (a population estimated at 1-2). German radio has posted what appears to be (if Google Translate can be relied upon) an interesting discussion about the German version of my book. Austrian radio has chimed in, too. Cicero excerpted a chapter in its April issue.

Author: Peter Maass

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. In 1983, after graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, I went to Brussels as a copy editor for The Wall Street Journal/Europe. I left the Journal in 1985 to write for The New York Times and The International Herald Tribune, covering NATO and the European Union. In 1987 I moved to Seoul, South Korea, where I wrote primarily for The Washington Post. After three years in Asia I moved to Budapest to cover Eastern Europe and the Balkans. I spent most of 1992 and 1993 covering the war in Bosnia for the Post.
