Description
"In The Great Texas Oil Heist Robert Cargill tells the story of the
slant-hole drilling scandal of the 1960s with both the thoroughness
and the verve it deserves. Impeccably researched and
clearly written, this work is a well told and compelling tale of
how politics, geology, money, and human nature combined to
create a uniquely Texan scandal and how it was finally broken
up. Cargill has done a service by shining a bright light on this
long-running episode of criminality that has been talked about
but never before explored in such meticulous detail."
