Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11
In the fall of 1973, the Greek oil shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, husband of President John F. Kennedy's widow, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and arguably the richest man in the world, proposed to build an oil refinery on the New Hampshire coast, in the town of Durham. But three women vehemently opposed the project. Small Town, Big Oil is the story of how the residents of Durham, led by three women, out-organized, out-witted, and out-maneuvered the governor, media, and Onassis cartel to hand the powerful Greek billionaire the most humiliating defeat of his business career.

Terrible narration!
Reviewed: 03-30-24
This is a marvelous story of the successful battle against big oil destroying a local ecosystem but the narration is deplorable. It surely seems like a computer voice with awful inflections, mispronounced names and places and just a drone. Please tell me this is a computer generated narration and not the actual reading of the individual.
