Book Description
"The Brass Check: A Study of American Journalism" is a non-fiction book written by Sinclair Upton. The book is a scathing critique of American journalism in the early 20th century. Upton argues that the American press is controlled by the wealthy and powerful, who use it to maintain their dominance and suppress dissent. The book's title refers to the brass tokens used by streetcar conductors to ensure passengers had paid their fares. Upton uses this metaphor to argue that the American press is a tool used by the wealthy to ensure that the public remains docile and compliant. Upton examines various aspects of American journalism, including the way news is gathered and reported, the role of advertising, and the relationship between the press and the government. He argues that the press is not objective but is instead driven by profit and the interests of its owners. Moreover, "The Brass Check" is a powerful indictment of the American press and remains relevant today as a critique of media ownership and control.

Book Description
Upton Sinclair's 'The Brass Check: A Study of American Journalism' is a compelling and thought-provoking examination of the flaws and biases present in American journalism during the early 20th century. Written in a straightforward and engaging style, Sinclair delves deep into the corruption and unethical practices that were prevalent in the industry at the time. Drawing on his own experiences as a journalist, Sinclair shines a light on the ways in which media outlets were influenced by corporate interests and political agendas, ultimately compromising their ability to provide objective and truthful reporting. This book serves as a powerful critique of the challenges faced by journalists striving for integrity in a system rife with manipulation and deceit. Upton Sinclair, a prolific author and social reformer, was motivated to write 'The Brass Check' by his frustration with the sensationalism and lack of accountability he observed in the media landscape. His tireless efforts to expose the truth behind the glamorous facade of journalism are evident throughout the book, making it a seminal work in the history of media criticism. I recommend 'The Brass Check' to readers interested in the intersection of politics, media, and ethics. Sinclair's incisive analysis remains relevant today, serving as a cautionary tale against the dangers of propaganda and misinformation in the press.

Book Description
Pulitzer Prize Winner: An American in Germany fights against the rising tide of Nazi terror in this monumental saga of twentieth-century world history. In the wake of the 1929 stock market crash, Lanny Budd’s financial acumen and his marriage into great wealth enable him to continue the lifestyle he has always enjoyed. But the devastation the collapse has wrought on ordinary citizens has only strengthened Lanny’s socialist ideals—much to the chagrin of his heiress wife, Irma, a confirmed capitalist. In Germany to visit relatives, Lanny encounters a disturbing atmosphere of hatred and jingoism. His concern over the growing popularity of the Nazi Party escalates when he meets Adolf Hitler, the group’s fanatical leader, and the members of his inner circle. But Lanny’s gravest fear is the threat a national socialist government poses to the German Jewish family of Hansi, the musician husband of Lanny’s sister, Bess—a threat that will impel the international art dealer to risk his wealth, his future, even his life in a courageous attempt to rescue his loved ones from a terrible fate. Winner of the 1943 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Dragon’s Teeth brilliantly captures the nightmarish march toward the Second World War. An astonishing mix of history, adventure, and romance, the Lanny Budd Novels are a testament to the breathtaking scope of Upton Sinclair’s vision and his singular talents as a storyteller.
