Upton Sinclair's novel grew 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. A genial oil developer has a running debate with his son due to the son's sympathy with the oil workers and socialist organizers. This lively and panoramic book, which was recently cited by David Denby in the New Yorker as being Sinclair’s “most readable” novel, is now the inspiration for the Paramount Vantage major motion picture, There Will Be Blood. As wars rage on in the oil region and as anxiety over natural resources rise, the subject of this book is more timely than ever.
