Reading Gary Nunnally's book, The Gambit, has been an eyeopening experience for me, and I mean that quite literally. You see, I know Gary, but I had no idea he could write so well, or that he had such a background that he could write a book so knowledgeable about the world pertaining to the petroleum industry. I say this not to categorize him, but to emphasize the many sides to a thinking man, who has learned so much from the industry he writes about. And he writes beautifully, describing for us the very real world, and those characters in it we know so little about, but that we get to know, good and bad, within these pages.

Intrigue! Worldwide economic conspiracy via manipulated oil prices! Political blackmail! Greed! From the lowest facets of society to the highest levels of the free world. This book takes us on a fascinating journey through the minds of those who "can and could" do us harm for their own gain. In the end, they don't succeed in bringing down the economy, but the loopholes are obvious. It is a "must read" for those of us who know so little about how fragile our economy can be when the "terrorists", in this case the wealthy worldwide oil traders, begin their work. Is there an answer? Vigilance, awareness, and books like this!
