- A 123,000-word monograph addressing a figure identified by Daniel Yergin in his Pulitzer-winning survey of oil history, "The Prize", as one of the industry's three or four most important pioneers. As diplomat and "oil man", Gulbenkian shaped the oil politics of the Ottoman Empire, Russia, Iraq, Iran, Romania, France, UK, US, Mexico and Venezuela - and helped create Total and Shell. The product of five years' research on material in ten languages, it draws on eight state and 28 private archives, including those of descendants/oil companies historically resistant to grant access, and >400m of Gulbenkian's personal archive, never before studied.
