      abstract = {The first in-depth examination of how a lack of corporate  responsibility and government oversight led to the biggest  offshore oil spill in U.S. history. On April 20, 2010, a  series of explosions rocked Deepwater Horizon, the immense  semisubmersible drilling platform leased by British  Petroleum, located 40 miles off the Louisiana coast. The  ensuing inferno claimed 11 lives and raged uncontained for  two days, until its wreckage sank a mile beneath the waves.  On the ocean floor, the unit's wellhead erupted. Over the  next ten weeks, an estimated 200 million gallons of  oil--the equivalent of 20 Exxon Valdez spills--spewed into  the Gulf of Mexico, eventually lapping up on beaches as far  away as Florida. Business journalist Loren  Steffy--considered by many to be the writer with the best  access to the story--presents the definitive account of  this catastrophe and how BP's winner-take-all business  culture made it all but inevitable.--From publisher  description.},
