Exciting Story,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Deep Challenge: Our Quest for Energy Beneath the Sea (Hardcover)
It's hard to make history exciting but this book does it as it recounts how the nation's oil industry moved from dry land to drilling in thousands of feet of water.
