Edward Jay Epstein, who previously exposed the workings of the De Beers cartel in his classic book "The Rise and Fall of Diamonds," now turns to the crude cartel that dominated the world oil business for the past century.

It ended with OPEC. It is a story of bribery, greed, and power. An EJE Original.
