A good read that really gets inside the nitty gritty of the Deepwater Well Blowout, featuring vivid explanations and examples tracing the history and life of oil drilling. Starting with early oil exploration from its development to this most current saga, a series of connected individuals with ravenous agendas surface page through page. Anyone looking to get a better idea of the circumstances surrounding government inter-departmental conflicts and environmental directives will have their interests piqued in this account by Bob Cavnar. One cannot help but wonder how the mainstream news media did not do a better job explaning exactly how it went down. Are we now consciously aware that this disaster could not have been avoided given the previous malfunctions of the sleeping beast tearing apart the Gulf of Mexico? One wonders!
