It is the most valuable substance on earth. It has brought riches to poor nations and bankrupted wealthy ones. It has spurred wars, and given immense fortunes and power to the men who control it
Filled with interviews with industry insiders and industrial historians, BLACK GOLD is the definitive portrait of the oil industry. Discover how unrefined oil was used through history, from ancient China to the Crusades, and see how one man's breakthrough gave birth to the industry we know today. Follow the trails that men like Mellon and Rockefeller blazed to riches and power, and discover how the companies they created have shaped not just their industry but history. See how oil has impacted the policies of nations, and not always as blatantly as in the Gulf War. And hear what the future holds for the one industry on which all others rely.
From the hills of Pennsylvania to the Arabian desert and beyond, BLACK GOLD circles the globe and travels through time to tell the story of riches, power and petroleum.
