Juhasz spent 8 months traveling throughout six Gulf states to research this thorough narrative on the biggest oil spill in the history of the United States. On April 21st 2010 an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, stationed just 50 miles from the Louisiana coast, unleashed an oil spill of catastrophic proportions. Often referred to as the BP Spill, readers will come away from this book understanding that the entirety of the disaster was made possible through the greed, incompetence, and lies of multiple corporations, and the complicity of government agencies and regulators. Juhasz, an expert on the oil industry, brings the tragic and chaotic events of last April to life, and honors the lives of those most affected. From accessible explanations of the mechanics of deep water drilling, to revealing conversations with Gulf coast residents, Juhasz\u2019s Black Tide is a definitive historical account and a cautionary tale.<\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Antonia Juhasz is a leading oil industry expert and Director of the Energy Program at Global Exchange.
