I picked up this book thinking I was going to learn something about he wine business. Instead I was exposed to a bunch of nonsence. For example, Mr. Rosenthal tasted a wine and described it as, "It left its stain inside me". You gotta be kidding? Nuddy, you should have stayed in the legal business. Bad, bad, bad.
Laton McCartney provides an entertaining history of the Teapot Dome scandal. Written in a light style, the book is a page-turner that provides a thoughtful history of the players involved, what they did to steal from the public and its aftermath.
I would not call McCartney's research "scholarly", but it is thorough. This is a great book if you want to understand the history of Teapot Dome.
