This book is chock full of fascinating portraits of the tycoons and entrepreneurs who made it big in the oil business since the mid-1800s up until the present. The history as presented is more anecdotal than methodically researched, but it is great reading, and provides a lot of insights into how the U.S. oil industry in particular has developed, but it also details who the major players are worldwide and the ways in which they have helped shape the business throughout the years.
