Both a fast-paced story of social unrest and strike, and the tale of one young
man's struggle for identity, IN DUBIOUS BATTLE is a novel about the apocalyptic
violence that breaks out when the masses become the mob. Set in California apple
country, a strike by migrant workers spirals out of control, as principled
defiance turns into blind fanaticism. Caught in this upheaval is Jim Nolan, a
once aimless man who finds himself briefly becoming the leader of the strike
before being crushed in its service. IN DUBIOUS BATTLE explores and dramatises
many of the ideas and themes key to Steinbeck's writing.
