Description

Crude Awakening is the rollicking story of politics in The us’s last frontier and oil province—Alaska, the nation’s so much wild and mysterious state, where politics and oil blurred at the day wildcatters struck it big in 1968. Living in a northern Never Land, where oil companies and the government kept the state living high and wild, a handful of players ran the show. Among them were the past due Sen. Ted Stevens and oilman Bill Allen, the Tony Soprano of Alaska who controlled the political machine until the FBI arrived to root out corruption, best to be accused of playing as dirty as the ones they were investigating. These characters and events lead the way for Sarah Palin’s upward push to fame and fall from glory in Alaska. Authors Amanda Coyne and Tony Hopfinger chart the epic tale of those three characters, set in a state of soaring hopes, fading dreams, drying oil fields and an uncertain future.
