Antonia Juhasz at the Community Church of Sebastopol with Copperfield's Books

Award-winning author and oil industry watchdog Antonia Juhasz, whose previous book The Tyranny of Oil predicted BP's Gulf spill, offers an in-depth investigation behind the scenes and beyond the sludge-smeared beaches to meet the people whose mistakes and crimes resulted in the most devastating oil spill in American history and those who must continue to bear its costs.

Oceanographers and oyster-shuckers, engineers and executives, scientists, fishermen, families, lobbyists, environmentalists, and politicians all feature in this comprehensive and exhaustively thorough account.
