Howard Fast's classic political novel, The Establishment, is a riveting story of power, corruption, and the clash of ideals in American politics. In a time of great change, the novel tells the story of Tom Joad, a CIO organizer struggling to improve the lot of the common man in the Great Depression. When the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, Joad becomes a wartime worker, and his experience leads him to advocate for the rights of American workers. As the war winds down and Joad starts to lose faith in the government's ability to protect the people, he becomes involved in the struggle for civil rights. The Establishment is a powerful and timely story that offers a unique understanding of the forces that shape American politics.; 8vo ; FSA.
