A phenomenal feat of journalism. . . . I tore through it like a novel but with the queasy knowledge that the whole damn thing is true. 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 explosionas well as a riveting insiders view of the byzantine culture of offshore drilling that made the disaster inevitable. As the world continues to cope with the oil spills grim aftermathwith environmental and economic consequences all the more dire in a region still rebuilding from Hurricane KatrinaKonrad and Schroders real-time account of the disaster shows us just where things went wrong, and points the way to a safer future for us all.
