The truth behind the greatest environmental disaster in U.S.
history In 2005, fifteen workers were killed when BP's Texas City
Refinery exploded. In 2006, corroded pipes owned by BP led
to an oil spill in Alaska. Now, in 2010, eleven men drilling
for BP were killed in the blowout of the Macondo well in the
Gulf of Mexico. What's next? In In Too Deep: BP and the Drilling Race That
Took it Down, Stanley Reed, a journalist who has covered BP
for over a decade, and investigative reporter Alison
Fitzgerald answer not only that question, but also examine
why these disasters happen to BP so much more than other
large oil companies. * Places the blame on a corporate culture created by
former BP CEO John Browne who was forced to resign in 2007
after he lied in court documents in a case involving his gay
lover
* Details a BP built on risk-taking and cost-cutting
* Examines the past, present, and future of BP In August 2010, BP successfully "killed" the company's
damaged deepwater well. But, the environmental fallout and
public relations campaign to rebuild the brand are just
beginning. In Too Deep details why BP, why now, and what's
next for this oil giant.
