Upton Sinclair was a socialist and he used this novel to tell the story of the Teapot Dome scandal, and to explain what was going on between the owners and labor during the days when California was oil country. It's a fine novel a good way to learn about how oil comes up out of the ground. Very different from the film, though. No milkshakes in this book.
