Description: "Ike Okonta and Oronto Douglas presents a case against the world's largest oil company, demonstrating how [in contrast to Shell's public profile] irresponsible practices have degraded agricultural land and left a people destitute. The plunder of the Niger Delta has turned full circle as crude oil has taken the place of palm oil, but the dramatis personae remain the same: a powerful multinational company bent on extracting the last drop of blood from the richly endowed Niger Delta, and a courageous people determined to resist."--BOOK JACKET.
