The Squeeze by Tom Bower

‘The Squeeze’ is an invaluable account of the modern oil industry and vital to understanding the awful truth about the current disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. With unprecedented access to their engineers and executives in London and Houston, Tom Bower tells the inside story of BP's history of alleged negligence.Over the last 20 years, oil prices have soared from $7 a barrel to $147 and down to $37. Amid economic boom and bust, speculators, traders, politicians and monarchs have plotted to earn fortunes from oil, and prayed for salvation from unpredictable natural and man-made disasters.
A gripping and convincing account of the turbulent story of the global oil industry over the past decade…scorchingly topical…’The Squeeze’ provides the fascinating story behind the headlines…a first-rate account of where the oil industry is now and some useful pointers as to where it is going' Financial Times
