Steve Coll's Private Empire is winner of the FT/GOLDMAN SACHS BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2012. In this prize-winning book, the author of Ghost Wars and The Bin Ladens investigates the notoriously mysterious ExxonMobil Corporation and the secrets of the oil industry In many of the nations where it operates, ExxonMobil has a greater sway than that of the US embassy, its annual revenues are larger than the total economic activity in most countries and in Washington it spends more on lobbying than any other corporation. Yet despite its outsized influence, it is to outsiders a black box.Private Empire begins with the Exxon Valdez accident in 1989 and closes with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Steve Coll's narrative spans the globe, taking readers to Moscow, impoverished African capitals, Indonesia and elsewhere as ExxonMobil carries out its activities against a backdrop of blackmail threats, kidnapping, civil wars, and high-stakes struggles at the Kremlin. In the US, Coll goes inside ExxonMobil's ruthless Washington lobbying offices and its corporate headquarters in Irving, Texas, where top executives oversee a bizarre corporate culture of discipline and secrecy.Private Empire is the masterful result of Steve Coll's indefatigable reporting, from the halls of Congress to the oil-laden swamps of the Niger Delta; previously classified U.S. documents; heretofore unexamined court records; and many other sources.

At this time of writing, The Mobi Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power has garnered 8 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Mobi is Good TO READ!

I expected this book to be a left-wing assault on one of the best run, profitable companies in America. Boy was I wrong! I found Coll to have been stuck to his aim to present ExxonMobil as a powerful "Empire" whose influence cannot be ignored in American society and government. I found Coll to be unbiased, fair, and quite knowledgeable on a subject that he--and certainly I--was not here-to-fore was not well-informed. Despite climate concerns most Americans share, Coll did an excellent job showing how vital the major oil companies like ExxonMobil are to meeting the energy demands of our world, as we collective endeavor to find cleaner ways to meet the demands. I feel I have a much more balanced picture of the complex and inter-related world of oil and natural gas. Full disclosure: I read the book to understand the company my Chemical Engineer son now works for and speaks so glowingly about. Coll was amazingly accurate in describing the"OIMS" (Operational Integrity Management Systems) culture of post-vales ExxonMobil. He was spot on, too, in the engineering excellence, cost-conscious, highly regimented and disciplined EOM workplace. "Sanctity of contracts," as he frequently noted, is part of the DNA of the company. A must read for those who want a balanced picture of this American Icon company.
