Sinclair delves into themes of class struggle, loyalty, and the cost of ideological compromise. Through Jimmie’s journey, the novel critiques the exploitation of workers and the moral contradictions of war. A blend of social commentary and personal drama, it captures the tension between individual ideals and societal pressures in a rapidly changing world.
