The Jack Carr Book Club June 2026 selection is THE LOST EMPIRE OF EMANUEL NOBEL by New York Times bestselling author Douglas Brunt.

With the exception of the tsar, Emanuel Nobel was likely the wealthiest man in early 20th-century Russia, and one of the wealthiest in the world. Over three generations, he and his family grew the Russian petroleum industry into a behemoth that surpassed even John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. The Nobels imported best practices from America and improved on them, transforming every aspect of the industry. Though Emanuel’s uncle Alfred would become world famous due to his creation of the Nobel Prize, the even more successful Nobels in Russia have been largely forgotten. The reason why is one of history’s most gripping untold stories.

Douglas Brunt is a New York Times bestselling author of THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF RUDOLF DIESEL, host of the SiriusXM show Dedicated with Doug Brunt, and former cybersecurity executive.

This conversation explores Doug's research, insights, and writing process behind THE LOST EMPIRE OF EMANUEL NOBEL.

Derek served with Homeland Security Investigations, helped lead the creation of the DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking, and now continues that mission through OUR Rescue’s work combating sex trafficking and child exploitation.
