The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power is Daniel Yergin's 1990 history of the global petroleum industry from the 1850s to 1990. The Prize became a bestseller, helped by its release date in December 1990, four months after the invasion of Kuwait ordered by Saddam Hussein and one month before the U.S.-led coalition began the Gulf War to oust Iraqi troops from that country. The book eventually went on to win a Pulitzer Prize. An unabridged audiobook version of The Prize was released in 2024, with an epilogue narrated by its author, reflecting on the relevance of the book’s messaging, more than 30 years after its original publication date. The Prize has been called the "definitive" history of the oil industry, even a "bible".
