description: The novel describes the working class day-to-day struggle for economic justice. The book was written in 1937 to aid the formation of the United Auto Workers. It is a continuation of Sinclair's famous novel THE JUNGLE. Again, this novel depicts how alienated work not only brings degradation to workers, but is the motivation for resistance and finally revolt! The novel turns out to be a historical document of the first four decades of the 20th Century. The story is told from two conflicting views; that of Henry Ford and one of his workers. As we begin the 21st Century it is as important as ever for the American working and middle class to understand the roots of the American labor movement. A Collector's Edition.
