A Gripping ExposÉ of Ambition, Disaster, and the True Cost of Oil

Step onto the deck of the Deepwater Horizon and into the heart of one of the most devastating industrial disasters of our time. Drowning in Oil delivers a riveting, behind-the-scenes account of BP's rise to global dominance—and the corporate culture that led to catastrophe.

Award-winning journalist Loren C. Steffy draws on firsthand testimony, meticulous research, and years of investigative reporting to reveal the human stories behind the headlines. From the harrowing explosions that claimed lives in the Gulf of Mexico to the boardrooms where profit was prized above safety, Steffy exposes the decisions, shortcuts, and systemic failures that paved the way for disaster.

Drowning in Oil is not just a story of corporate failure—it's a wake-up call about the dangers of complacency, the cost of ignoring safety, and the human toll of putting profit before people.

Perfect for readers of narrative nonfiction, business history, and anyone seeking to understand the real story behind the world's thirst for oil. Now available as an audio book with a new epilogue by the author.
