Jimmy Higgins
By UPTON SINCLAIR
Author of “The Jungle,” etc.
This is the story of Jimmy Higgins, socialist, worker and sometime soldier in the American Expeditionary Forces. It is a character study written with all Upton Sinclair’s power and virility. The pictures he paints are drawn with a sweeping brush and in crude colours that make the lights and shadows distinct and impressive. “Jimmy Higgins” is a story that is sure to arouse great interest among the reading public all over the world. It is strong with the strength of the untamed spirit.
