6. "In Dubious Battle", a novel by John Steinbeck

If anybody is interested in American labor, the history of strikes and how they can work, and how they can fail, I recommend "In Dubious Battle".

Most people know Steinbeck from "The Grapes of Wrath" or "Of Mice and Men" or even "Travels With Charley". Sometimes these are assigned in school. But not too many high school teachers are going to assign "In Dubious Battle" because it is too awesome.

It tells the story of fruit pickers in California during the Great Depression. It shows the beginning, middle and end of a hard fought strike.

It's a fiction novel so if your looking for a history book this isn't it.

But if you're a Steinbeck fan, definitely check it out.

If you look on the wiki page it says a bunch of stuff about communists in regard to this book. Just ignore that. There is nothing communist about this book. It is just one of the great American novels and in my opinion it is second only to Grapes of Wrath among Steinbeck's works.
