5.0étoiles sur 5 I highly recomend this book!!!, Jui 10 2007
Par Nicole "Nikkie" (Montreal, QC Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I am an avid Steinbeck fan and picked this book up after reeding The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men. In Dubious Battle was written before these two and you can really tell. It is a very raw and inthralling book. I have to say that I was not sure when starting it. I am not interested in communism and was weary at first but as I read Steinbeck proved me wrong! This book is inthralling and is definitely NOT slow. A real page turner! I highly recommend this book, especially if you like Steinbeck!

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of the Best I ever Read, Janv. 5 2004
Par Un client
This is a story of the attempt of the Communist Party to infiltrate the labor movement. Using the rage of migrant farm workers against the unfair labor practices of the California agricultural community, and anything else possible, up to and including the dead bodies of their friends, labor organizers convince growing numbers of workers to organize. The title of the book, "In Dubious Battle" discusses the dubious choices made by the leaders of the labor movement of that time, inserting socialist ideals and abdicating conscience for the "cause" in many cases. It traces the slow evolution of its main character as the plight of workers versus values such as the rights of farmers, and morality, to name two, bring him to make choices.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Dubious, Sep 19 2003
Par Jack Purcell (Placitas, NM USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
In Dubious Battle seems to be a continuation of Grapes of Wrath, though I considered it far superior to Grapes when I was young. I read this one half a dozen times between the ages of 20 and 30 and loved it each time. Tried it again at 50 and didn't care a whit for it. We live, we learn, our tastes and ideas change.
