Oil changed the 20th century: to mark Shell Transport & Trading's centenary, a book based on unrestricted access to Shell's archives.

"A fascinating and educational corporate history! – A fascinating history of the various entities which constitute the global corporation known as ‘Shell’, or ‘Royal Dutch Shell’, neither of which is a name recognised in law. Although clearly written at the behest of the company for its centenary year (1997), the author has managed to retain a degree of objectivity and editorial license in telling the story of how two brothers from east London started one of the 20th Century’s most important energy concerns."

"An insider's – As an employee of Shell, I found the book fascinating and extremely useful in explaining the corporate culture and I therefore recommend it to fellow staff. It certainly gives a first-rate perspectve on the history of the oil industry and other companies. However, I would not have expected it to be of huge interest to people outside the industry.
Puzzlingly, since putting it on my bookshelf at home, I have found various friends and family picking it up, browsing and then borrowing it, so that I occasionally have to hound them to get it back. Obviously it must be of more interest than I realised; it is certainly very well-written."
