An incisive demonstration of how Orwell's body of work was defined by the four major conflicts that punctuated his life: World War I, the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the Cold War. Few English writers wielded a pen so sharply as George Orwell, the quintessential political writer of the twentieth century. His literary output at once responded to and sought to influence the tumultuous times in which he lived—decades during which Europe and eventually the entire world would be torn apart by war, while ideologies like fascism, socialism, and communism changed the stakes of global politics. In this study, Stanford historian and lifelong Orwell scholar Peter Stansky incisively demonstrates how Orwell's body of work was defined by the four major conflicts that punctuated his life: World War I, the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the Cold War. Young Orwell came of age against the backdrop of the First World War, and published his final book, Nineteen Eighty-Four, nearly half a century later, at the outset of the Cold War. The intervening three decades of Orwell's life were marked by radical shifts in his personal politics: briefly a staunch pacifist, he was finally a fully committed socialist following his involvement in the Spanish Civil War. But just before the outbreak of World War II, he had adopted a strong anti-pacifist position, stating that to be a pacifist was equivalent to being pro-Fascist. By carefully combing through Orwell's published works, notably "My Country Right or Left," The Lion and the Unicorn, Animal Farm, and his most dystopian and prescient novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, Stansky teases apart Orwell's often paradoxical views on patriotism and socialism. The Socialist Patriot is ultimately an attempt to reconcile the apparent contradictions between Orwell's commitment to socialist ideals and his sharp critique of totalitarianism by demonstrating the centrality of his wartime experiences, giving twenty-first century readers greater insight into the inner world of one of the most influential writers of the modern age.

From the book - which will give you an insight to the total content of this political novel. "Also he had a bit of genuine anxiety. He told the truth when he said to Guggy that he didn't know what a 'Red' was but since then he had been making inquires and now he knew. A RED was a fellow who sympathized with labor unions and strikes; who wanted to murder the rich and divide their property and believed the quickest way to do the dividing was by means of dynamite. All REDS made bombs and carried concealed weapons and perhaps secret poisons - who could tell." Be prepared for an enlightening venture of into the world of radical politics as seen thru Upton Sinclair's incredible imagination. Trying to undo the everyman's view. A perspective and view that the ruling class wishes to continue to take into the reality of the working class and the labor movement and those who struggle for economic justice. The is a novel that will not fail the reader who wishes to understand modern propaganda by the shrinking, but still powerful establishment and their lackeys. It all continues to this day but now there are no names, no easily remembered logos, no local following, no telephones that have real people answering - all just meaningless fronts and shell corporations located on some tiny island offshore. And so it goes until the bulkhead of economic justice blows sky high. A Collector's Edition.

Upton Sinclair, the prolific socialist author who is best-remembered for his groundbreaking 1906 fictional expose of labor abuses and the American meat-packing industry, "The Jungle," began by writing jokes and juvenile adventure stories to finance his education at the City College of New York. Although born to an aristocratic Southern family, Sinclair's father was an alcoholic, so the family's fortunes varied wildly during his youth. A remarkably successful socialist candidate for Governor of California in the 1930s, many of Sinclair's novels revolved around his social concerns. Just as "The Jungle" was a masterpiece of "muckraking" journalism that led to initial regulation of food safety in the United States, novels like "100%: The Story of a Patriot" were fictional responses to Sinclair's real-life social and economic concerns. "100%" tells the story of Peter Gudge, a poor young man who becomes embroiled in industrial spying and sabotage. Said to be based upon a real case of a bombing in San Francisco, Peter's tale is compelling reading. Originally published by the author himself, "100%: The Story of a Patriot" is the story of a young man's descent into fear and corruption, and eventual happy redemption.
