Tonight on the Marti Oakley Show on TS Radio Network, we take a deep dive into one of the most explosive and hidden forces shaping global politics—oil, pipelines, and the covert battles behind them.
Join hosts Coz Skaife and Marcel Reid as they welcome investigative journalist and author Charlotte Dennett for a fascinating discussion about her groundbreaking book Follow the Pipelines.
Dennett brings a uniquely personal perspective to the story. She is the daughter of Daniel Dennett, the first U.S. master spy assigned to the Middle East. In 1947, he was sent to investigate the route of the proposed Trans-Arabian Pipeline—an assignment that ended in a mysterious plane crash that killed everyone on board. Decades later, Charlotte began her own investigation into what really happened and what it revealed about the global struggle for oil.
In Follow the Pipelines, Dennett traces how intelligence agencies, governments, and powerful oil interests have shaped conflicts across the Middle East and beyond. Her research connects decades of geopolitical intrigue—from Cold War spy games to modern wars—through one simple idea: follow the pipelines.
This powerful conversation explores the hidden forces behind global conflict, the intersection of intelligence and energy politics, and the personal journey of a daughter determined to uncover the truth about her father's final mission.
