Description
Oil Games
This intriguing and entertaining narrative lifts the veil off the secretive and exclusive business of oil trading and provides a rare view of the bizarre reality of living in Dubai, the oldest trading post in the most influential centre of world oil production - the Middle East.
Oil Games provides a unique window into the fascinating and utterly different customs and culture of modern-day Arabia and reveals the serious but fickle nature of the corporate games and the extraordinary characters that dominate the oil markets in the Middle East and Africa.
Leigh Nicholson, a single woman in her mid-30’s, trading millions of dollars worth of oil on behalf of her international clients, is one of a kind.
Armed with a bottle of vodka, Leigh takes us on her flamboyant journeys through wild and mystical countries, seeking refuge from her larger than life existence by writing letters to her pals, recanting tales of ‘The Snake Charmer’, ‘The Viper’, ‘The Weasel’ and other animals who inhabit the mad, bad world of oil trading.
