From Library Journal:
$18.95. biog Phillips was the prototypical oil man: hard working, fun loving, powerful, flamboyant, and richthe ideal subject for a book. But this is not an ideal biographyit looks closely at Phillips, but not too hard. The author eschews a rigorous examination of his subject's life and work, giving us the light-and-easy approach instead. Frequently, Wallis resorts to cliches, and lacks a sense of proportion, emphasizing Phillips's social life as much as his business dealings. We learn much more than we want to about the high life at the Phillips ranch and much less than we should about the structure and management of Phillips Petroleum. Public libraries in Oklahoma will want this. Kevin M. Rosswurm, Mount Vernon P.L., N.Y.
