Both a fast-paced story of social unrest and strike, and the tale of one young man’s struggle for identity, In Dubious Battle is a novel about the apocalyptic violence that breaks out when the masses become the mob.

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 fanatacism. 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.

First published in 1936.
