Publisher's Synopsis
""100%: The Story Of A Patriot"" is a novel written by Upton Sinclair and published in 1920. The book tells the story of Peter Gudge, a young man who is initially apathetic towards politics and social issues, but becomes radicalized after witnessing the injustices and corruption of the American government during World War I. Gudge joins the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), a radical labor union, and becomes a passionate advocate for workers' rights and social justice. However, his activism comes at a great personal cost, as he is repeatedly arrested, beaten, and persecuted by the authorities. The book is a powerful indictment of American capitalism and imperialism, and a call to action for readers to become politically engaged and fight for a more just society. It is considered one of Sinclair's most important works and a classic of American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
