Oil!
(eBook)
"Oil!" is Nobel Prize-winner Upton Sinclair's brilliant satirical take on the American oil industry. The early portions of the book formed the basis for the Oscar-winning film "They Will Be Blood." Based on historical events, including the Teapot Dome Scandal (a bribery allegation about improper leasing of federal oil fields that involved U.S. President Warren G. Harding), "Oil!" is a powerful social and political satire featuring a classic tug-of-war between generations: self-made oil tycoon - John Arnold Ross - and his son, James Jr. (nicknamed "Bunny"). The father wants to continue to build the family's fortune while the son grows more and more concerned with the lives and well-being of the workers. Along the way, we meet shady Senators, labor organizers, Soviet agents, oil magnates and a full cast of characters that bring this breathtaking book to life. Originally banned for it's controversial and powerful message, "Oil!" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
