Description

Wives and Girlfriends of worldwide oil workers, look away now! Oilfield Trash follows the exploits of a group of workers thrown together because of their jobs, and the phrase "it takes all sorts..." springs to mind. It is the start of the oil boom and work for skilled workers was plentiful, the pay was good but the lifestyle was difficult and the men took their pleasure and entertainment where and how they could. Starting in the desert oilfields of Libya and moving to the tropical climes of Indonesia, Harry Macklin and his companions worked hard (well sometimes!) and played even harder, unlikely friendships were forged between men who would not, in other circumstances, have got on and the things that these men get up to will have the reader laughing out loud. Thought provoking, this novel provides an insight into a previously unknown world.
