Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power

Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power
- Used Book in Good Condition
From the award-winning and bestselling author of Ghost Wars andÂ Directorate S, an â€œextraordinaryâ€ and â€œmonumentalâ€ exposÃ© of Big Oil (The Washington Post)

Includes a profile ofÂ current Secretary of State andÂ former chairman and chief executive of ExxonMobil, Rex Tillerson

In this, the first hard-hitting examination of ExxonMobilâ€”the largest and most powerful private corporation in the United Statesâ€”Steve Coll reveals the true extent of its power. Private Empire pulls back the curtain, tracking the corporationâ€™s recent history and its central role on the world stage, beginning with the Exxon Valdez accident in 1989 and leading to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The action spans the globeâ€”featuring kidnapping cases, civil wars, and high-stakes struggles at the Kremlinâ€”and the narrative is driven by larger-than-life characters, including corporate legend Lee â€œIron Assâ€ Raymond, ExxonMobilâ€™s chief executive until 2005, and current chairman and chief executive Rex Tillerson, President-elect Donald Trump's nomination for Secretary of State. A penetrating, news-breaking study, Private Empire is a defining portrait of Big Oil in American politics and foreign policy.
