From twice-Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Steve Coll comes Private
Empire, winner of the FT/GOLDMAN SACHS BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR
AWARD 2012 The oil giant ExxonMobil makes more money annually than
the GDP of most countries; has greater sway than US embassies
abroad; and spends more on lobbying than any other corporation. Yet
to outsiders it is a mystery. In Private Empire, award-winning
reporter Steve Coll tells the truth about the world's most powerful
and shadowy company. From the Exxon Valdez accident in 1989 to the
Deepwater Horizon oil spill, via Moscow, the swamps of the Niger
Delta and the halls of Congress, he reveals a story of dictators,
oligarchs, civil war, blackmail, secrecy and ruthlessness. Drawing
on hundreds of interviews and newly declassified documents, this is
a chilling portrait of unchecked power. Reviews: 'Magisterial ... a
revealing history of our time' New York Review of Books
'Meticulous, multi-angled and valuable ... Coll's prose sweeps the
earth like an Imax camera' Dwight Garner, The New York Times
'Jaw-dropping reading' Kirkus Reviews 'The definitive work on its
subject ... at every stop there are vivid anecdotes, sharp insights
and telling details' Ed Crooks, Financial Times About the author:

Ladens. He is president of the New America Foundation, a

D.C., and a staff writer for The New Yorker. He won a Pulitzer

Post. He is the author of six other books, including the bestseller
Ghost Wars, which won him a second Pulitzer prize. He lives in
