The First Billion Is the Hardest by T Boone Pickens

It's Never Too Late to Top Your Personal Best.

Both a riveting account of a life spent pulling off improbable triumphs and a report back from the front of the global-energy and natural-resource wars, The First Billion Is the Hardest tells the story of the remarkable late-life comeback that brought the famed oilman and maverick back from bankruptcy and clinical depression. Along the way, the man often called the Oracle of Oil shares the insights that have made him a legend-and describes the billion-dollar bets he is now making in hopes of securing America's energy independence.
