The Frackers: The Outrageous Inside Story of the New Billionaire Wildcatters

â€œA lively, exciting,Â and definitelyÂ thought-provokingÂ book.â€ â€”Booklist

Things looked grim for American energy in 2006, but a handful of wildcatters wereÂ determined to tap massive deposits of oil and gas that giants like Exxon and ChevronÂ had ignored. They risked everything on a new process called fracking. Within a fewÂ years, they solved Americaâ€™s dependence on imported energy, triggered a globalÂ environmental controversy, and made and lost astonishing fortunes.

No one understands the frackersâ€”their ambitions, personalities, and foiblesâ€”betterÂ than Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman. His exclusive access drivesÂ this dramatic narrative, which stretches from North Dakota to Texas to Wall Street.
