Introduction: The Hidden Power of Oil and Gas

Picture this: It's 2003, and a Russian gas station is opening in Manhattan. Vladimir Putin himself is there, grinning for the cameras. Seems innocent enough, right? But as I dug deeper, I realized this wasn't just about cheap gas. It was the start of a global story - one of corruption, environmental destruction, and the erosion of democracy. I'm Rachel Maddow, and in this book, we're going to follow the twisted trail of the oil and gas industry. From Oklahoma to Equatorial Guinea, from Rex Tillerson to Vladimir Putin, we'll see how this industry has shaped our world in ways we never imagined. And trust me, once you see it, you can't unsee it.
