**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
