Oil has shaped the politics of the twentieth century and has changed profoundly the way we lead our daily lives. The canvas for this story of oil is enormous - from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania, through two great world wars to the "accident' that led to the discovery of North Sea oil, to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm. Now, in The Prize, oil has become the subject of a book which does justice to the great struggle for wealth and power that has always surround the black gold.
In the great traditions of epic storytelliing, the international bestseller The Prize tells how and why oil has become the largest industry in the world, a game of huge risks and monumental rewards. --- book cover
