Oil by Upton Sinclair

Recommended by Gina

FIC Sinclair

A detailed story about a father and son's journey into the California oil industry beginning in the 1920s. Although fictional, it's based on the Teapot Dome scandal in the Harding administration and corruption in government. The book was written almost a century ago, but elements of this epic novel ring true today.
