⭐ Review: 5/5 A powerful American novel exposing the greed, corruption, and moral compromises behind the booming Southern California oil industry. The story follows James Arnold Ross, a wealthy oil businessman, and his son Bunny, whose growing awareness of exploitation and social injustice puts him increasingly at odds with his father's business practices. As oil fortunes rise, labor struggles intensify, political corruption spreads, and Bunny begins questioning the world that made his family wealthy. Inspired by real events surrounding the oil scandals of the 1920s, Sinclair delivers a gripping combination of family drama, political intrigue, social criticism, and American history. This is a compelling literary classic for anyone interested in corporate power, workers' rights, and the price of wealth.
