About the Book
Sarah takes on Big Oil: The compelling story of Governor Sarah Palin's battle with Alaska's 'Big 3' oil companies, as told by longtime Alaska oil and gas writers, Kay Cashman and Kristen Nelson.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's nomination as the vice presidential running mate of John McCain launched Palin and her family into worldwide renown.
As people seek to learn more about Palin, a recurring question emerges: What is Palin's record as an administrator, and more particularly, how did she meet the challenge of balancing the interests of the people of Alaska against those of Alaska's three major oil and gas producing companies?
"Sarah takes on Big Oil" by Kay Cashman and Kristen Nelson delivers the story of Palin's record in dealing with BP, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil as governor of Alaska. This book is a must read for those who seek to understand Palin's qualifications for national leadership.
"Sarah takes on Big Oil" illuminates Palin's rise to power in Alaska, along with her concrete successes and failures in dealing with the industry that is the lifeblood of the state's economy.
A stunning eight-page color insert with photos of Alaska's oil industry by noted Alaska photographer Judy Patrick graces the center eight pages of the book.
Patrick, a personal friend of Palin, was a Wasilla city councilwoman when Palin was mayor. More Patrick photos appear inside the book.
Also included in the book is a map of Alaska showing major points of interest, such as the trans-Alaska oil pipeline.
Unlike many articles that have appeared in the news since Palin became McCain's running mate, "Sarah takes on Big Oil" is a factual account from the editors of Alaska's only standalone oil and gas publication. Neither author is a Republican. Neither author has a private agenda to discredit or promote Palin.
