Reviewer Praises "Fire on the Horizon" as Being One of the Best Books about the Gulf Oil Spill

The Chicago Tribune recently ran a review of "Fire on the Horizon: the Untold Story of the Gulf Oil Disaster," co-authored by featured presenter Tom Shroder, that was originally published by the Los Angeles Times.

The reviewer not only included "Fire on the Horizon" in this round-up of books about the Gulf oil spill disaster, but said Shroder's book (along with two others) stands above the others on this topic.

The reviewer singled out "Fire on the Horizon" for being the "most cinematic of the lot. Artfully and compellingly told, the book marries a John McPhee feel for the technology to a Jon Krakauer sense of an adventure turned tragic."

Read the full review.
