Done In Oil

More about the book

This autobiography details Marshall's career, from his days as a young law student writing about the problems of the oil industry for a prestigious law review, to his oil regulation days under FDR, to his work in some of the country's most important oil companies. Marshall's entertaining and detailed memories bring to life many of the most famous public and private characters of oil history. Unlike any work before it, Done in Oil recounts the history of the oil industry from the perspective of an individual who has known it, quite literally, inside-out, both as practitioner and as analyst. From the curious to the student of oil, business, and government history, readers will come away from this book having learned something new and significant about the oil industry and its culture.
