It was about the oil in Libya; it was about the oil in Iraq; it still is about the oil in Venezuela; and it's now about the oil in Iran. "The Prize - The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power" by Pulitzer Prize-winning Daniel Yergin captures the fascinating stories behind the global hunt for oil.

 

 

Daniel Howard Yergin (born February 6, 1947) is an American author, economic historian, and consultant within the energy and economic sectors. He has authored or co-authored several books on energy and world economics, including the Pulitzer Prize–winning "The Prize - The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power", "The Quest - Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World", and "The New Map - Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations".
