289 pages including index and bibliography. Describes how the emergence and evolution of the Brazillian oil industry, from its tentative beginnings late in the nineteenth century to its maturity in 1970, were largely influenced by misinformed and manipulated public opinion. A study of how scarcity of capital and expertise, so characteristic of an underdeveloped country, and the nationalism equally characteristic of such countries in the mid-twentieth century, interacted with the facts of geology to produce a result unique to Brazil. The first attempt at an objective assessment of the results of Brazils's experience in the oil industry. Book clean and unmarked with light to moderate wear.
