About This Item
New York and Toronto: Farrar & Rinehart, 1938. First Edition. 8vo. 8-7/16" x 5-7/8". Beige cloth covered boards stamped in red. 308 pp. Top edge tinted red. Deckled fore-edge. Bottom corners of both covers slightly dented. Otherwise fine./Sturdy attractive dust jacket with a little edge wear. Overall very good plus.. In his finest novel since OIL, Upton Sinclair dramatizes the struggle of Little Steel - the independent steel companies- to maintain the open shop after the capitulation of the United States Steel Corporation to the CIO.
Little Steel is an exciting book and it presents a compelling picture of labor and entrenched wealth at the crossroads in America. This book does not preach nor does it call names; it gives the reader an understanding of what is at stake on both sides.
But Mr. Sinclair does more than present an important problem in dramatic terms. He brings to life Walter Quayle, the kindly, retiring and bewildered lord of Valleyville, who finally found a measure of understanding through his love for his daughter.
