Other Versions of this Book: Hardcover, Audio Cassette, Hardcover
Book Description:
A riveting novel of labor and apocalyptic violence that maps the frontier where the masses become a mob.
At once a relentlessly fast-paced, admirably observed novel of social unrest and the story of a young man's struggle for identity.
In Dubious Battle is set in the California apple country, where a strike by migrant workers against rapacious landowners spirals out of control, as principled defiance metamorphoses into blind fanaticism. Caught up in this upheaval is Jim Nolan, a once aimless man who finds himself in the course of the strike, briefly becomes its leader, and is ultimately crushed in its service.
