So far I've learned a lot about world history as context to energy history, and Yergin successfully ties in the complex political, economic, and social dynamics at play in this huge picture. Sometimes he gets too lost in details. The book is 700+ pages long. Somewhere along the way he indeed inserts bias of his own. Elsewhere, he injects his own policy recommendations (appreciated tbh). He is a fan of the free market
