The struggle for wealth and power that has surrounded oil for decades continues to shake the world economy, dictate the outcome of wars, and transform the destiny of men and nations. The Prize is as much a history of the twentieth century as of the oil industry itself. The canvas of this history is enormous -- from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm. The cast extends from wildcatters and rogues to oil tycoons, and from Winston Churchill and Ibn Saud to George Bush and Saddam Hussein. The definitive work on the subject of oil and a major contribution to understanding our century, The Prize is a book of extraordinary breadth, riveting excitement -- and great importance.
【权当读书打卡,不算认真的书评】-2018.12.03首次编辑 题外话:购买这本书后的几个月断断续续读着,截止上上周末始终只读不到100页,却在过去一周时间里差不读一口气读完(过去一周ipad 屏幕使用时间0分钟), 导致我手不释卷的原因是因为书中写到了20世纪初的历史尤其是一战二...
评分对于数字不敏感的我来说,这本书真是考验。好几次被弄的晕头转向。看到这么多例子和数字。我到最后几乎是怀着敬畏的心情看完的。
评分很精彩的石油历史,跨越了近两百年,虽然有很多难记的人名,地名,公司名,但依然能get背后的理念。正如作者反复提到的,没有石油,地上开的汽车,天上跑的飞机,水里游的轮船,都得停到那里,如同尽管有套高端的厨具,却没有可用的食材一样,整个世界完全不一样。 拥有丰富石...
评分原来是自己单位的人翻译的,看完以后看译者怎么觉得这么眼熟,后来一个个对,原来都是领导。。。 适合翻翻,大的框架都有,不要太精读。写到上世纪90年代,缺了阿富汗、伊拉克战争这一段。中国面临越来越多面临曾经困扰发达资本主义国家的问题,我个人觉得很难跳出原来的逻辑,...
评分好厚的一本书啊。 只好先挑和目前情况有关的看。所以,首先关注的是战后中东石油资源的划分。刚把伊朗石油国有化那段故事看完。 不好意思,才写了这么点。
