QUEEN OF THE OIL CLUB(ISBN=9780807072776) 英文原版 rtf 下载 2025 kindle mobi lrf 极速 pdf

　　This is the story of a gutsy journalist who challenged

power-and succeeded. Wanda Jablonski was an investigative reporter,

publisher, and power broker who came to wield exceptional influence

on twentieth-century geopolitics by shedding light on the secretive

world of oil from the 1950s through the 1980s. Jablonski unveiled

many mysteries of the oil club, an elite group of Western

executives who once controlled the international petroleum

business.

Nicknamed the midwife of OPEC, Jablonski undermined Big Oil's

dominance by exposing the vulnerabilities of the major oil

companies and encouraging the rise of oil nationalism. Her scoops,

commentaries, and private networking helped shape the debate that

led to the creation of OPEC, the oil shocks of the 1970s, and the

largest transfer of wealth in history.

Tenacious and glamorous, Wanda-as she was known in the oil

world-coaxed her way into exploration sites in Middle Eastern

deserts, drilling camps in the Venezuelan jungle, male-only

boardrooms in New York and London, and the king's harem in Saudi

Arabia. She survived threats, boycotts, and suspicions of espionage

as she elicited information and insight from CEOs of the oil giants

and political leaders, including the shah of Iran.

Working for the Journal of Commerce and other New York

publications, Jablonski defied the prevailing view that a woman

reporting on business had no credibility. In 1961, divorced and

suddenly jobless, she took a big gamble by starting her own

newsletter, Petroleum Intelligence Weekly, which was soon dubbed

the "bible" of the oil world.

Today, when conflict in the Middle East and climate change cause

us to reexamine our reliance on oil, Jablonski's prescience-whether

about oil dependency, cultural insensitivity, or market

manipulation-proves remarkable.

Anna Rubino, who reported for Jablonski in the 1980s, uses scores

of interviews, exclusive access to her private papers, and newly

declassified information to tell the dramatic story of this

journalistic pioneer and the power of information.

　　Wanda Jablonski was one of a kind—a reporter who revealed the

secret world of the oil business, a woman who penetrated the inner

sanctums of the Arab oil sheiks, and an entrepreneur who created a

publication that was the industry's bible. Jablonski's colorful

career comes alive in Anna Rubino's richly reported

biography.—David Ignatius, columnist for the Washington Post and

author of Body of Lies: A Novel

　　"A page-turner and a substantive biography, Queen of the Oil Club

makes Middle East oil history come alive through the eyes of a

truly trailblazing woman journalist."—Ambassador Connie Morella,

　　"Part detective story and part political thriller, Queen of the

Oil Club is the true account of the most influential woman of the

early oil age. It's a book you can't miss."—Gregg Easterbrook,

author of The Progress Paradox

　　"What a fascinating story and what a remarkable woman! Before

women were even allowed to join the National Press Club, Wanda

Jablonski managed, through determination, hard work, and excellent

reporting, to overcome the odds and become one of the most

influential journalists in our history. Jablonski not only

chronicled the growth of the oil industry, she helped shape it—and

brought oil barons to their knees." —Bill Press, political

commentator, author, and radio host of The Bill Press Show

　　"A gem of a book about a remarkable woman and the shadowy world

of oil and global politics. Anna Rubino has followed in Wanda

Uneasy Partnership with Saudi Arabia
