Trade Review

"This is a remarkable investigation that should open many eyes, and perhaps many hearts." Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature


"This book is bound to become a seminal work for anyone concerned with the impact of the fossil fuel industry on our land, health, and governments. Kevin Timoney reveals the environmental regulation of the oil industry as a national embarrassment." Kevin Taft, author of Oil's Deep State


“A must-read for oil historians and environmental historians seeking to understand the ecological impacts of fossil fuel industry spills.” H-Environment
