The book explores the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, detailing its impact as the worst offshore disaster in U.S. history, where nearly five million barrels of crude oil contaminated the Gulf of Mexico over three months. It places this catastrophe in the context of previous environmental disasters, such as Three-Mile Island and the Exxon Valdez, highlighting systemic failures and the avoidability of such events. Through this lens, it examines the broader implications for environmental policy and corporate accountability.
