The Prize : The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power Daniel Yergin

The definitive work on the subject of oil and a major contribution to understanding our century, The Prize is a book of extraordinary breadth, riveting excitement -- and great importance. The struggle for wealth and power that has surrounded oil for decades continues to shake the world economy, dictate the outcome of wars, and transform 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 this history is enormous -- from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm. The cast extends from wildcatters and rogues to oil tycoons, and from Winston Churchill and Ibn Saud to George Bush and Saddam Hussein.

Javier Blas : Pour ceux qui s'intéressent à l'énergie, lisez sur l'histoire de l'industrie, The Prize, de Dan Yergin, publié dans les années 90, toujours actuel. Dan est un miroir dans lequel on se regarde quand on écrit nos propres livres.
