Summary: "This book is a refutation of the critics of the Petroleum Industry and free enterprise.

The interlocking progress of corporation, independent and wildcatter in no way lessons the brisk competition withn the Industry, says Dr. Leeston. He vigorously opposes any attempt to destroy or mangle its present ways and patterns. Petroleum is a builder in peace and a defender in war, a bulwark against chaos, an outstanding example of what Man, given his Freedom, can do for advancing Civilization." - dust jacket.
