The Teapot Dome Scandal : how big oil bought the Harding White House and tried to steal the country / Laton McCartney. 1st ed. New York : Random House, 2008. xiv, 351 p., [8] p. of plates : ill., ports. ;PB ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [335]-338) and index. In The Teapot Dome Scandal, Big Oil handpicked Warren G. Harding, an obscure Ohio senator, to serve as our twenty-third president. Harding and his so-called ""oil cabinet"" made it possible for the oilmen to secure vast oil reserves that had been set aside for use by the U.S. Navy. In exchange, the oilmen paid off senior government officials, bribed newspaper publishers, and covered the GOP campaign debt. --From publisher description. Teapot Dome Scandal, 1921-1924.
