Now with a new epilogue that speaks directly to the current energy
crisis, "The Prize" recounts the panoramic history of the world's
most important resource: oil. Daniel Yergin's timeless book
chronicles the struggle for wealth and power that has surrounded
oil for decades and that continues to fuel global rivalries, shake
the world economy, and transform the destiny of men and nations.
This updated edition categorically proves the unwavering
significance of oil throughout the twentieth century and into the
twenty-first by tracing economic and political clashes over
precious "black gold."
With his far-reaching insight and in-depth research, Yergin is
uniquely positioned to address the present battle over energy,
which undoubtedly ranks as one of the most vital issues of our
time. The canvas of his narrative history is enormous -- from the
drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world
wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Operation Desert Storm, and
now both the Iraq War and climate change. The definitive work on
the subject of oil, "The Prize" is a book of extraordinary breadth,
riveting excitement, and great value -- crucial to our
understanding of world politics and the economy today -- and
tomorrow.
