'Dripping with delicious detail' - Aditya Chakrabortty Taking the
reader on a journey through North East Scotland, Merseyside, South
Wales, the Thames Estuary and London, this is the story of
Britain's oil-soaked past, present and future. Travelling the
country, the authors discover how the financial power and political
muscle of an industry built the culture of a nation from pop music
to kitchen appliances, and how companies constructed an empire,
extracting the wealth of the world from Iran to Nigeria and Alaska.
Today, the tide seems to be going out - Britain's refineries have
been quietly closed, the North Sea oilfields are declining and wind
farms are being built in their place. As the country painfully
shifts into its new post-industrial role in the shadow of Covid,
Brexit and the climate crisis, many believe the age of oil to be
over. But is it? Speaking to oil company executives and traders, as
well as refinery workers, filmmakers and musicians, activists and
politicians, the authors put real people at the heart of a
compelling story.
