BLOWOUT
Corrupted Democracy, Rogue State Russia, and the Richest, Most Destructive Industry on Earth
BLOWOUT offers a dark, serpentine, riveting tour of the unimaginably lucrative and corrupt oil-and-gas industry.
With her trademark black humor, Maddow takes us on a switchback journey around the globe - from Oklahoma City to Siberia to Equatorial Guinea - exposing the greed and incompetence of Big Oil and Gas. She 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 United States, and the West's most important alliances.
This book is a clarion call to stop subsidizing the wealthiest industry on earth, to fight for transparency, and to check the influence of predatory oil executives and their enablers. The stakes have never been higher. As Maddow writes, "Democracy either wins this one or disappears."
Rachel Maddow is host of the Emmy Award-winning "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC, as well the author of Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power, a #1 New York Times bestseller. Maddow received a bachelor's degree in public policy from Stanford University and earned her doctorate in political science at Oxford University, which she attended on a Rhodes Scholarship.
