Publisher's Synopsis
""100%: The Story of a Patriot"" is a novel written by American author Upton Sinclair and published in 1920. The story follows the life of Peter Gudge, a young man who becomes a fervent supporter of the United States' involvement in World War I. As he becomes more involved in the war effort, Peter's patriotism becomes increasingly extreme and he becomes willing to do whatever it takes to serve his country. However, as the war comes to an end, Peter begins to question the true motives behind the conflict and the sacrifices he has made. The novel is a commentary on the dangers of blind patriotism and the manipulation of public opinion during times of war. It also explores themes of disillusionment and the struggle to find one's place in a changing world. ""100%: The Story of a Patriot"" is considered one of Sinclair's most important works and is a powerful critique of American society during the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
