Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the corporate culture of BP under CEO John Browne, highlighting a pattern of aggressive acquisitions, cost-cutting measures, and neglect of safety protocols. Despite claims of environmental sustainability, the company faced serious repercussions, including felony convictions and fatal accidents, as internal warnings went unheeded. Drawing on extensive interviews and exclusive access to internal documents, Abrahm Lustgarten crafts a compelling investigative narrative that exposes the dangerous consequences of corporate greed and hubris prior to the Gulf oil spill.
