This rich, rousing gusher of a biography captures the life and
times of an American hero and the birth of the modern oil empire he
created.
Frank Phillips, founder of Phillips Petroleum, was one of the
most prominent self-made business tycoons of the twentieth century.
In "Oil Man," Michael Wallis, a best-selling historian of the West,
presents Phillips against a pageant of luminaries and outlaws that
includes Will Rogers, Harry Truman, Edna Ferber, J. Paul Getty, and
Pretty Boy Floyd.
Spanning the final days of America's frontier West through the
Roaring Twenties and two world wars, "Oil Man" is a bold, colorful
biography of the original American entrepreneur. A classic work
that continues to gather accolades since its original publication
in 1988, the book captures the life and times of an American
hero.
