Marcel Metze

A Dangerous Game

‘Thirteen decades of conflict and tension, crisis and war, corruption and violence, of manoeuvring in the highest circles and in the quagmires and minefields of the world.’ Since its founding in 1892, Shell has become one of the four largest oil and gas producers in the world. It’s success comes from acting as an independent and active political player, which tries to influence and bend the rules, if not to bypass them. To understand Shell’s refined methods, investigative journalist Marcel Metze spent decades piecing together the first comprehensive political biography of the company of its kind, in a style rich in detail and anecdotes.
