The Flivver King: A Story of Ford America

Upton Sinclair's "The Flivver King" stands among the finest of modern American historical novels. It is history as it ought to be writtenâ€”from the bottom up and the top down, with monumental sensitivity to the compromise and conflict between the two extremes. It's two stories, those of Henry Ford and Ford-worker Abner Shutt, unfold side-by-side, indeed dialectically. They are, in the end, one story: the saga of class and culture in "Ford-America."

Originally written in 1937 to aid the United Automobile Workers' organizing drive, "The Flivver King" answers the question, "Why do we need a union?" with quiet eloquence. It is reissued today as a great American novel and an important historical document, but most of all because that question has never gone away and is now more vital than ever.
