About this book:

From a desperate plea for gasoline in World War I to a pioneer in carbon capture and solar power, this is the untold story of one of the world’s most influential energy giants. *A History of TotalEnergies* takes you behind the boardroom doors and into the heart of global geopolitics, revealing how a company born from France’s post-war vulnerability became a powerhouse navigating the Suez Crisis, oil shocks, and the shale revolution. It’s a gripping corporate saga that reads like a thriller—where national strategy, colonial ambition, and technological daring collide.

But this isn’t just a history of barrels and pipelines. The book offers a front-row seat to the defining challenge of our age: the energy transition. Watch how TotalEnergies pivoted from deepwater exploration to wind farms, from the Red Line Agreement to carbon capture. Perfect for investors, historians, or anyone curious about how the fuel that powers our world is changing—and what that means for the future.
