Upton Sinclair
Enraged by the oil scandals of the Harding administration in the 1920s, Sinclair tells a gripping tale of avarice, corruption, and class warfare, featuring a cavalcade of characters, including senators, oil magnates, Hollywood film starlets, and a crusading evangelist. Sinclair's glorious 1927 epic endures as one of our most powerful American novels of social injustice.

Would you recommend Oil! to your friends? Why or why not?
I would and have recommended it. It is sobering how many of the observations made by Sinclair in the 1920's are still relevant today.Was Oil! worth the listening time?
It is a long book and is peppered with Sinclair's socialist leanings but, his observations of social issues are spot on. 100 years since the story and over and over it rings current...except that we are FAR more addicted to oil than in 1920 and we seem to be willing to do anything to anyone to keep it flowing.So little change in 100 years...
