"Zuckerman’s fast-paced, densely interesting The Frackers is the
first book to tell the stories of the obstinate, ravenous,
methodical, sometimes rascally oil executives of the recent boom.
By focusing on people instead of trends, it gets to the heart of
why the United States is once again the largest supplier of oil and
gas in the world."—The New Republic
“Told with care and precision and a deep understanding of finance
and corporate politics as well as oil and geology.”— Bryan
Burrough, The New York Times
“Fans of the lively, character-driven nonfiction of writers like
Kurt Eichenwald and Ben Mezrich should welcome this book with open
arms . . . A lively, exciting, and definitely thought-provoking
book”—Booklist
“A fascinating study of American entrepreneurial culture and the
modern robber barons who succeeded in creating an energy
revolution.”—Kirkus
“Lovers of business and capitalism will appreciate The Frackers, …
Zuckerman has done valuable and timely reporting on the men and
independent companies that created the shale boom.”—Associated
Press
