The Squeeze by Tom Bower

The Squeeze by Tom Bower

The sensational human story of the hunt for oil, and the politics, power and personalities involved.

Praise for Tom Bower:

‘As a psychological profile, an exploration of personal ambition and a study of political obsession driven by religious angst, this biography is gripping’ Daily Telegraph

‘Intensively researched but coolly critical…this remains the most thorough biography we have.’ Independent

‘What makes this worth reading is Bower’s damning indictment of Brown's main boast: his supposedly sure stewardship of the economy.’ The Times

‘A powerful book which poses serious questions.’ James Naughtie

‘Compulsively readable…essential reading.’ Norman Lamont

‘Bower gets the big strategic judgements, most admirably in his scepticism about the fashionable theory known as 'peak oil’ Sunday Times

'..there's nobody more diligent than Bower' Dominic Lawson, The Sunday Times

"a shattering critique which will leave…readers angry" The Independent

"a roller-coaster account of the past 30 years of the oil industry….he has a real sense of the drama of deal-making and deal-breaking….Bower is particularly entertaining on the vast Russian oil industry" Daily Telegraph
