Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power
Autor Steve Collen Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 2013
The oil giant ExxonMobil makes more money annually than the GDP of most countries; has greater sway than US embassies abroad; and spends more on lobbying than any other corporation. Yet to outsiders it is a mystery. InPrivate Empire, award-winning reporter Steve Coll tells the truth about the world's most powerful and shadowy company.
From the Exxon Valdez accident in 1989 to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, via Moscow, the swamps of the Niger Delta and the halls of Congress, he reveals a story of dictators, oligarchs, civil war, blackmail, secrecy and ruthlessness. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and newly declassified documents, this is a chilling portrait of unchecked power.

Magisterial
...
a
revealing
history
of
our
time
Meticulously researched and elegantly written, it is likely to be the definitive work on its subject for many years to come. Steve Coll ... is honest about Exxon's strengths as well as its flaws, and presents both sides of the arguments with scrupulous even-handedness ... At every stop there are vivid anecdotes, sharp insights and telling details
Masterful ... Coll's in-depth reporting, buttressed by his anecdotal prose, makePrivate Empirea must-read ... [His] portrait of ExxonMobil is both riveting and appalling... YetPrivate Empireis not so much an indictment as a fascinating look into American business and politics
Meticulous, multi-angled and valuable ... Coll's prose sweeps the earth like an Imax camera
A thorough, sobering study of the pernicious consolidation of Big Oil ... jaw-dropping reading
