The Big Rich by Bryan Burrough Book Summary

“Full of schadenfreude and speculation—and solid, timely history too.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This is a portrait of capitalism as white-knuckle risk taking, yielding fruitful discoveries for the fathers, but only sterile speculation for the sons—a story that resonates with today's economic upheaval.” —Publishers Weekly

“What's not to enjoy about a book full of monstrous egos, unimaginable sums of money, and the punishment of greed and shortsightedness?” —The Economist

Phenomenal reviews and sales greeted the hardcover publication of The Big Rich, New York Times bestselling author Bryan Burrough's spellbinding chronicle of Texas oil. Weaving together the multigenerational sagas of the industry's four wealthiest families, Burrough brings to life the men known in their day as the Big Four: Roy Cullen, H. L. Hunt, Clint Murchison, and Sid Richardson, all swaggering Texas oil tycoons who owned sprawling ranches and mingled with presidents and Hollywood stars. Seamlessly charting their collective rise and fall, The Big Rich is a hugely entertaining account that only a writer with Burrough's abilities-and Texas upbringing-could have written.

The Big Rich. One of my favorites. I've been told it is not exactly factually corect but I would not hold that against it. This is a great read. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.

The Big Rich. This was quite a history lesson. Lots of info on the beginnings of the oil industry in the U.S. (& world). There was lots of history about the men driving the discoveries, drilling, financing, etc. And there was lots of information on them as men, people living and working in this time. I’m glad I read it and have a better understanding of some of the workings of the oil industry.

Great Story., Ned's editing. Fascinating at times sluggish at others this book should have left about 250 pages on the editing floor.
