In Dubious Battle (2016)
In the California apple country, nine hundred migratory workers rise
up “in dubious battle” against the landowners. The group takes on a life
of its own-stronger than its individual members and more frightening.
Led by the doomed Jim Nolan, the strike is founded on his tragic
idealism-on the “courage never to submit or yield.” Published in 1936,
In Dubious Battle is considered the first major work of Pulitzer
Prize-winning author John Steinbeck.
