The Teapot Dome Scandal: How Big Oil Bought the Harding White House and Tried to Steal the Country Audiobook

" You may think this is a very boring topic to read about, but if you like American political history, like I do, you'll find it a quick read. Warren G. Harding has to be one of the most corrupt presidents ever, and he didn't even serve a complete term. "

" Occasionally the jumps in time are a bit odd, but over-all a fascinating story. "

" Let me sum this up: Greedy people suck. "

" Poor Warren Harding. He was never cut out for the presidency, but give the guy credit, his dalliances make Bill Clinton look like a choirboy. "

" Plenty to understand and relate to what has been going on in recent years. McCartney retells the story well with new material not in other versions. "

" Loved this book. What a story! "

" Now I typically do not read political books but this one is fascinating. Author is an expert storyteller and it is very readable - not to mention an eye opener on the world of presidential elections! "

" McCartney makes the complicated comprehnsible and entertaining as all hell. "

" A really good book about Big Oil and their hold on the presidency and the United States government back in the days of the Harding administration. One of the characters in the book was the inspiration for Daniel Plainview in "There Will be Blood". Fascinating read. "

" Very interesting history. If you think politics is bad now, you should read this book. "

" I thought that this book was very interesting. I didn't know much about the Teapot Dome Scandal before reading this (nor about the Harding and Coolidge presidencies), but learned a lot. However, this book is very detailed and can be a little tedious to get through. "

" If you like reading historical accounts this is quite an entertaining read. I had no idea how long big oil had been trying to get into the White House! Interesting story, written in an entertaining way. "

" Well told story of the scandal involving oil tycoons Sinclair, Stewart, Doheney, Interior Secretary Albert Fall, and investigating Senator Walsh; author cannot resist temptation to speculate a bit too much. "

" Almost done with this book. Very well researched look at one of the most important political scandals in American history. Writing is a little flat at times but overall a good read, especially for the American history buff. "

" Good refresher on one of the biggest scandals in US history. May have never come to light without the Liberty Bonds. "

" Well told story of the scandal involving oil tycoons Sinclair, Stewart, Doheney, Interior Secretary Albert Fall, and investigating Senator Walsh; author cannot resist temptation to speculate a bit too much. "

" It never fails to fascinate me that we're still around as a country, reading about some of the scandals of the past. Yes, corruption is currently rampant within many levels of government right now. But back then, it seemed to be the sole focus of most of these very high officials. "

" Let me sum this up: Greedy people suck. "

" A really good book about Big Oil and their hold on the presidency and the United States government back in the days of the Harding administration. One of the characters in the book was the inspiration for Daniel Plainview in "There Will be Blood". Fascinating read. "
