First Edition
Trade paperback. Condition: Good. xx, 665 pages, [3]. Chronology. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. A blow-by-blow account of the author of The Jungle's 1934 bid for governor of California describes the mudslinging campaign waged against him and how it was a precursor to today's media politics. Greg Mitchell (born 1947) is an American author and journalist. He has written twelve nonfiction books on United States politics and history of the 20th and 21st centuries. He has also written and directed three film documentaries. The award-winning feature Atomic Cover-up (2021) screened at over fifteen film festivals. The First Attack Ads: Hollywood vs. Upton Sinclair aired over hundreds of PBS stations in October 2022 and The Memorial Day Massacre is scheduled to do the same in 2023. His latest book, published by the New Press in 2020, was the award-winning The Beginning or the End: How Hollywood â" and America â" Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. His previous book, a bestseller, was published by Crown in October 2016 (and in ten editions abroad), was The Tunnels: Escapes Under the Berlin Wall and the Historic Films the JFK White House Tried to Kill. From 2009 to 2016 he blogged on the media and politics for The Nation, where he closely covered WikiLeaks. He co-produced the acclaimed 2014 film documentary Following the Ninth, about the political and cultural influence of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Upton Beall Sinclair Jr. (September 20, 1878 - November 25, 1968) was an American writer, muckraker, political activist and the 1934 Democratic Party nominee for governor of California. He wrote nearly 100 books and other works in several genres. Sinclair's work was well known and popular in the first half of the 20th century, and he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1943. In 1919, he published The Brass Check, a muckraking exposé of American journalism that publicized the issue of yellow journalism and the limitations of the "free press" in the United States. Four years after publication of The Brass Check, the first code of ethics for journalists was created. Many of his novels can be read as historical works. Writing during the Progressive Era, Sinclair describes the world of the industrialized United States from both the working man's and the industrialist's points of view. After his loss to Merriam, Sinclair abandoned EPIC and politics to return to writing. In 1935, he published I, Candidate for Governor: And How I Got Licked, in which he described the techniques employed by Merriam's supporters, including the then popular Aimee Semple McPherson, who vehemently opposed socialism and what she perceived as Sinclair's modernism. Derived from a Kirkus review: A colorful account of California's 1934 gubernatorial race, a forerunner of today's intense electioneering. Upton Sinclair, author of the meatpacking expose, The Jungle, and a prominent Socialist who became a Democrat only a year before the general election, electrified millions with his EPIC (End Poverty in California) movementâ"and at the same time alarmed, in Mitchell's words, `an array of powerful enemies almost unparalleled in American politics,' including William Randolph Hearst, Herbert Hoover, and film-mogul L.B. Mayer. Mitchell follows the nine-week campaign almost day by day, from the morning after Sinclair's astonishing primary victory to his November defeat at the hands of the lackluster, reactionary GOP incumbent, Frank Merriam. In between, California became a laboratory for the modern negative mass-media campaign, as Sinclair's enemies wedded some tried-and-true tactics (biased reporting by nearly all of the state's 700 newspapers) to some disturbingly effective new ones: a campaign consultant to manage a gubernatorial contest, polling, a direct-mail operation, even newsreels that attacked Sinclair. For a history as epic as the campaign that inspired it, Mitchell has found additional dash and drama in a wealth of primary source materials, contemporary newspaper accounts, and in.
