The Prize is often cited as essential background reading for students of the history of petroleum. Now out of print in hardcover, The Prize was published in a paperback edition ( ISBN 2-0) that was released at the end of 1992, and is currently in print. In 1992 The Prize won the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction it has been translated into fourteen languages. The Prize has been called the "definitive" history of the oil industry, even a "bible".
The book eventually went on to win a Pulitzer Prize.
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 Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power is Daniel Yergin's history of the global petroleum industry from the 1850s through 1990.
