About This Item
Crown, 2019, 2019. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. Royal octavo, hardcover, fine in fine gray and black pictorial dj. 406 pp. including index and notes on author (very intelligent outspoken liberal host on MSNBC whose father is a local attorney in Walnut Creek). With her trademark black humor, Maddow takes us on a switchback journey around the globe, revealing the greed and incompetence of Big Oil and Gas along the way, and drawing a surprising conclusion about why the Russian government hacked the 2016 U.S. election. She deftly shows how Russia's rich reserves of crude have, paradoxically, stunted its growth, forcing Putin to maintain his power by spreading Russia's rot into its rivals, its neighbors, the West's most important alliances, and the United States. Chevron, BP, and a host of other industry players get their star turn, most notably ExxonMobil and the deceptively well-behaved Rex Tillerson.
