Upton Sinclair Additional Author mixed material bibliography Penguin 2007

Book - Paperback

548 In Oil! Upton Sinclair fashioned a novel out of the oil scandals of the Harding administration, providing in the process a detailed picture of the development of the oil industry in Southern California. Bribery of public officials, class warfare, and international rivalry over oil production are the context for Sinclair's story of a genial independent oil developer and his son, whose sympathy with the oilfield workers and socialist organizers fuels a running debate with his father. Senators, small investors, oil magnates, a Hollywood film star, and a crusading evangelist people the pages of this lively novel. 9780141031705 C2O library Online catalog (BETA) F SIN Oil 3872 C2O library & collabtive (Fiction & Literature) 12000 OilThereWillBeBloodU25776_f.jpg 3763 2015-01-02 09:50:52 2015-01-02 09:50:52 machine generated
