Description

In the Spanish-American War, a young American sailor is taken into Havana’s Morro Castle and learns what captivity costs. Escape plans, fellow prisoners, and the grind of war press in. Sinclair’s adventure of endurance under a flag and a fortress, spoken as survival with justice still on the mind.

Author

Upton Sinclair (1878–1968) wrote The Jungle and a long shelf of muckraking novels in which industry is the villain. The Chicago stockyards novel was meant to convert readers to socialism; it converted them to food reform instead — and still stands as American protest fiction at documentary heat. Sinclair kept going: oil, coal, journalism, politics, a career of books used as weapons.
