Prize: the Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power:the Battle for World Mastery by Daniel Yergin
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
With the tile, including its promised "epic" I expected a wild ride from gushing Spindletop to Red Adair frantically fighting oil fires in Kuwait in the first Gulf War. In this brief (abridged?) audiobook, these and more are touched on, but only briefly. Instead, the evolution of contracts from concessions to more fair division of wealth is more the bulk of this. Much is given over to the Iraq-related conflicts including the epilogue narrated buy the author.
