**THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** A ground-breaking investigation into the oil and gas industry
international corruption and world politics. Oil. Corrupt? Yes. Unimaginably lucrative? Of
course. But the enemy of democracy? Blowout is the oil and gas industry as we've never seen it
before as told by America's most incisive political journalist Rachel Maddow. A blackly comic
journey from Washington to Siberia to deep within the earth's crust and the icy Arctic seas
it reveals not just the greed and incompetence of Big Oil and Gas but why the Russian
government hacked the 2016 U.S. election. This is our final wake-up call: to stop subsidizing
oil and gas to fight for transparency and to check the influence of the world's most
destructive industry before it destroys our democracy 'Each page in Blowout is a revelation
into the depth of corruption and greed that is infused into the international economy' David
Lammy MP
