The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power (Reissue)

byDaniel Yergin

Paperback

Price: $24.00

Overview

“The Prize” recounts the panoramic history of oil – and the struggle for wealth and power that has always surrounded oil. This struggle has shaken the world economy, dictated the outcome of wars, and transformed the destiny of men and nations. “The Prize” is as much a history of the twentieth century as of the oil industry itself. The canvas of history is enormous – from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqui invastion of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm.
