Format:Hardcover
As an employee within BP and having met Lord Browne on several occasions, I found his book to be very educational and insightful. Understanding his rise to the top of the company, and the challenges he faced along the way, provide great context to what it takes to be a leader. He certainly was a man at the centre of each of BP's major steps forward to become the global success that it is today. However the book also touches on his personal turmoils and the influence of family and his own sexuality, and how each shaped his ascent and ultimately descent from the top of the UK's largest company (on market cap).
If you're interested in the oil industry, in BP, or in a personal insight to a man's views on the history and future of this vast global industry that touches everyone in some shape or form, I'd recommend you read this book.

I bought this for an insight into an esteemed business leader of our time. I wasn't disappointed.The bonus was an interesting history of the oil business over the last century. Fascinating in BP's current situation.

Format:Hardcover
Having worked in the energy industry for most of my career, I found this book to be a fascinating story of the last 3 to 4 decades of the industry, told in a very candid and engaging way by one of its key protagonists. The fact that each chapter is arranged as a semi-independent story about a different geography makes the book very gripping and easy to read. Highly recommended, even for readers with no direct connection to the energy industry.
