Fire on the Horizon: The Untold Story of the Gulf Oil Disaster

Fire on the Horizon: The Untold Story of the Gulf Oil Disaster – A Riveting Investigation into the Deepwater Horizon Explosion and Aftermath

"A phenomenal feat of journalism. . . . I tore through it like a novel but with the queasy knowledge that the whole damn thing is true." â€”Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm and War
Blending exclusive first-person interviews and penetrating investigative reporting, oil rig captain John Konrad and veteran Washington Post writer Tom Shroder give the definitive, white-knuckled account of the Deepwater Horizon explosionâ€”as well as a riveting insiderâ€™s view of the byzantine culture of offshore drilling that made the disaster inevitable. As the world continues to cope with the oil spillâ€™s grim aftermathâ€”with environmental and economic consequences all the more dire in a region still rebuilding from Hurricane Katrinaâ€”Konrad and Schroderâ€™s real-time account of the disaster shows us just where things went wrong, and points the way to a safer future for us all.
