Description

Description

The definitive work on the subject of oil and a significant contribution to understanding our century, The Prize is a book of exceptional scope, captivating thrill - and great importance. The clash for wealth and power that has surrounded oil for decades continues to shake the global economy, determine the outcome of wars, and transform the fate of men and nations. The Prize is both a history of the twentieth century and of the oil industry itself. The canvas of this story is vast - from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania to the two great world wars, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, and Operation Desert Storm. The cast ranges from wildcatters and rogues to oil magnates, and from Winston Churchill and Ibn Saud to George Bush and Saddam Hussein.
