AuthorViews is pleased to bring you an excerpt from renowned oil correspondent and journalist Steve LeVine's The Oil and The Glory: The Pursuit of Empire and Fortune on the Caspian Sea.

LeVine spent 18 years in the former Soviet Union, Pakistan and the Philippines reporting for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post and Newsweek. In The Oil and The Glory, LeVine brings his experiences and research together to create a riveting historical account of politics, greed, corruption and oil in a turbulent, but relatively unpublicized region.

This excerpt from The Oil and The Glory portrays the final series of negotiations for the development of Caspian oil fields and the division of profits. The excerpt takes you from Istanbul to Houston to Washington, D.C., where private and state-owned oil companies and American and Azerbaijan diplomats engage in heated negotiations to finalize a quarter-billion dollar deal.
