100%- The Story of a Patriot

Dive into the gripping narrative of 100% The Story of a Patriot, where a poor, uneducated young man navigates the tumultuous waters of political struggle, driven by his instincts and cunning. As he becomes embroiled in the often violent clash between American patriots and Reds, his journey unfolds in a way that is both thrilling and thought-provoking. The author notes in the Appendix, absent from this recording, that Everything that has social significance is truth and that nearly all characters in 100% are based on real individuals. Published in 1920, this provocative novel by Upton Sinclair—who penned nearly 100 novels exposing industrial injustices—remains a powerful commentary on society. His most famous work, The Jungle, played a pivotal role in advancing food safety regulations in the U.S., and he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1943. (Lee Smalley)
