内容简介：
Written by the author of "Shattered Peace" and "Energy Future", this book brings to life the tycoons, wildcatters, monopolists, regulators, presidents, generals and sheiks whose struggle for oil has shaken the world economy, dictated the outcome of wars, transformed the destiny of Britain and the world and profoundly changed all our lives. Beginning with the first oil well of the 1850s and continuing up to Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, it is a story of greed, gumption nad ingenuity, all in pursuit of "the prize"—worldwide economic, military and political mastery through the control of oil.
The book includes the story of Shell Oil, a company forged in defiance of the Standard Oil monopoly by an upstart London trader, using Rothchild connections, Russian oil and Dutch petrolium concession in the East Indies. The central strategic role of oil in both world wars—from the decisive 4-knot-per-hour advantage of oil-burning ships in World War I to Rommel's stalled tank advance at El Alamein in War II (he literally ran out of petrol) The underground battle to win the greatest prize of all—the Saudi oil concession. The inside story of the discovery of North Sea Oil and its crucial role in undermining the OPEC monopoly.

原文赏析：
讨论任何问题都应该首先想到供求关系。这是一个根本经验。
投资者们急了。如果他们想吸引更多的资本，这份最终报告是必不可少的。他们东求西找想办法弄到这笔钱。最后，比斯尔的一个合伙人自己作保拿出了这笔钱。标明“1855年4月16日”的报告终于交给了投资者，并立即送去印刷。
德雷克的坚持终于有了收获。不早不晚，他找到了石油。油溪两岸的庄稼人冲进泰特斯维尔，高声喊道：“北方佬打着石油了。”这一消息像野火般传开，引起一场买地打井找油的浪潮。小镇泰特斯维尔的人口一夜之间成倍增长，土地的价格直线上升。
供应远远超过需求，价格随之下跌。随着钻井活动的展开，石油再也不缺了，现在缺的是威士忌酒桶。很快，酒桶的价格涨到几乎比桶中的石油还要贵一倍。
石油对人类来说并不陌生。在中东的许多地方有一种叫沥青的半固体的糊状物从龟裂的地面和岩石的缝隙中渗透到地面上来，人们在远古时代就已经采集这种渗漏出来的油苗了一公元前三干年在美索不达米亚就已经出现。最出名的地方是在幼发拉底河边离巴比伦（今天的巴格达）不远的希特。公元前一世纪希腊历史学家迪奥多尔就热情地记述过古代的沥青工业：“巴比伦国有许多不可思议的奇迹，但没有比大量的沥青更令人奇怪的。”地下渗出来的油苗连同泄漏出来的石油气体经常燃烧，中东的拜火教就这样产生了。
另外一位公司经理也可以使州议会的同一个委员会相信，他自己的公司与标准石油公司没有关系，只有个人的关系，这种个人的关系就像是“吵吵嚷嚷要红利的股东”那样的关系。这就是这个集团的真正的手法，即，是标准石油公司的股东面不是标准石油公司本身在别的公司内拥有股份。在当时，公司本身是不能在别的公司里拥有股份的。股份是股东们“信托”给托拉斯的，俄亥俄州标准石油公司只是代表公司股东的利益。
“托拉斯”的法律概念在1882年1月2日签署的“标准石油公司托拉斯协定”中确定并正式化了。这个协定是为了应付十九世纪七十年代末，八十年代初的司法和政治攻击而产生的。此外还有个人方面的原因，洛克菲勒和他的合伙人已经开始考虑死亡和继承的问题，他们认定如果他们当中有人去世，在现行的制度下就很可能导致混乱、争吵诉讼和痛苦。有了托拉斯就可以使所有权明确化，将来不至于发生争吵
