## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Description misleading/CORRECTION
*by S***Y on October 19, 2022*

(I thought I was getting the whole series from the description on Amazon, However I just got 2 episodes).I WAS MISTAKEN - ALL THE EPISODES ARE INCLUDED

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ History of oil, based on the book
*by C***. on June 26, 2019*

The video of the Prize was based on the excellent book by Daniel Yergin, with pictures, of the history of oil and its usage. It covers its early discovery in Pennsylvania, its use as an illuminant which replaced whale oil, and its value in the internal combustion engine. It covers the several wars which were fought over access to it. It reveals why we are where we are at this point in history.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating and Informative
*by C***N on November 25, 2018*

Did you know that, at one time, there was a massive oil glut and the governors of Texas and Oklahoma sent National Guard troops to oil fields to halt production?Did you know that one of the primary reasons Rommel lost the war in North Africa was because he didn't have enough fuel to keep his vehicles running, while the Allied forces had all the fuel they needed?Did you know that John D. Rockefeller, one of the most ruthless businessmen in history, considered himself to be a good Christian who was just using his God-given talent to make money so he could give it away to good causes?Here's the episode list:- Our Plan (origins of the oil industry in the northeastern United States during the 1800s)- Empires of Oil (continuation of the early development of the oil industry)- The Black Giant (more continuation, into the 1930s)- War and Oil (World War II and oil)- Crude Diplomacy (post-WWII oil goes international)- Power to the Producers (oil producing nations take back the industry)- The Tinderbox (oil and war during the '70s and '80s)- The New Oil Order (projections on the future, lots of talk about conservation)I remember watching this on television when it came out in 1992. At the time, I purchased the VHS tapes of the series because I liked it so much. The first four episodes are just fascinating.What strikes me the most about it is the caliber of people they interview. For instance, when they were discussing John D. Rockefeller, they had his grandson David Rockefeller making comments. They also have the chairmen of major international oil companies, ex-diplomats, people who were there, and many more. This is an extremely informative series.Unfortunately, the video quality isn't all that good. There's definitely been some degradation of the film, and it's formatted for the old-style square television displays. But that's not too hard to get beyond.I found the first four episodes, up through World War II, to be very interesting. After that, they focused more on the political aspects of oil, and I didn't like it as much. Got a bit boring. Thus the 4/5 stars. The final episode is interesting only in comparing their 25 year old predictions to what has actually happened.
