A Deepwater Horizon account from the accused supervisor’s perspective

Robert Kaluza’s book frames the Deepwater Horizon disaster through the legal and personal consequences faced by an oil-rig supervisor accused of responsibility for the deaths of eleven men and the Gulf oil spill. Its account connects events offshore with the courtroom proceedings and examines the book’s allegations about BP’s handling of blame and its deal with the U.S. Department of Justice. The narrative’s central tension lies in the gap between Kaluza’s acquittal and the lasting effects of having been publicly accused. This is a case-centered account of a major petroleum disaster, shaped by questions of corporate accountability and the treatment of individuals within a legal controversy.

Book overview

This book is an adventure, an investigation and a manhunt. It divulges the real reason for the Deepwater Horizon tragedy and leads the reader toward identifying the people responsible for causing it. It is the story of an oil-rig supervisor on a five-day assignment being scapegoated by his employer, BP, as part of a corrupt deal the company made with the U.S. Department of Justice. It was a deal that allowed BP to return to business as usual after the worst oil-spill disaster in the nation's history, and gave the accountable executives free passes. The narrative moves from the offshore rig to the courtroom, taking the reader on the life-altering journey of Bob Kaluza, an innocent man who was swiftly acquitted, yet still carries the scars of being accused of causing the deaths of eleven men and the environmental catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico.
