Protagonist Rudy Messer, like so many of his 1930s New York contemporaries, is concerned primarily with knowing the right people, wearing the right clothes, and making as much money as possible. A chance meeting with Jewish socialist Izzi Bloch at a demonstration in favor of the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War, however, shakes up Rudy’s comfortable lifestyle and inspires him to join the International Brigade. Moved by the outbreak of the war in Spain, Upton Sinclair wrote this novel with the dual purpose of informing American readers about the events on the Spanish battlefields, as well as warning the rest of the world about the danger that fascism's triumph in Spain would suppose. Providing an American point of view of a crucial moment is Spanish history, this entertaining historical novel will appeal to fans of Sinclair as well as readers interested in European history.
El protagonista Rudy Messer, como tantos de sus contemporáneos de la Nueva York de los 1930s, está mayormente preocupado con conocer la gente apropiada, vestirse de la manera apropiado y ganar cuanto dinero sea posible. Un encuentro fortuito con el socialista.
