Tells for the first time the story of how during World War II, the British, with the aid of forty-four oilfield roughnecks from the US, developed vital shallow pools of oil in Britain's famed Sherwood Forest. The Secret of Sherwood Forest is based on extensive research using thousands of reports, letters, and documents.""The book cost us some sleep, because we couldn't put it down unread"" - Dorothy CableThe Morgantown News Herald
""The book reconstructs, in a folksy and imaginative way, the story of the American party and their experiences under the greenwood trees of Sherwood Forest."" - R.A. Buchman Technology and Culture
""Much more than exciting cloak-and-dagger story of men at war, the book is a fine study in human adaptation…a book that is not only fascinating, but important: a chapter in history that needed to be told."" - Dan R. Chambers Tulsa Sunday World
