Soft covered book titled CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES IN ENERGY POLICY by Alfred Marcus, 1992, 158 pages. In this book, Alfred Marcus examines U.S. energy policy making and reveals both the shortcomings and failures, as well as the surprising successes of past energy policy efforts. After reviewing the events that transpired in the Persian Gulf after August 1990, Marcus then examines trends in energy production/consumption worldwide since the first energy supply crisis of 1973.

Unique to this volume is his review of U.S. policies and reactions to energy shortages as compared with the experiences of other major consuming nations (Japan, France, and Great Britain).
