Author: Upton Sinclair | Narrator: Peter Lerman
From the author of the landmark book of investigative “muckraking” journalism, The Jungle comes only the second book by Sinclair to be produced as an audiobook for commercial distribution: The Brass Check.
Upton Sinclair turns his critical eye and his sharp pen on the corruption and lies of the media that ruled the day 100 years ago - the newspapers, the magazines, and the wire services. He lays bare their pervasive collusion with big industrial, financial, and political interests.
Sinclair called The Brass Check “the most important and most dangerous book I have ever written”. He encouraged these corrupt institutions to sue him for libel if any part of his case was untrue. No such suit was ever filed.
The recording is by AudioFile Earphones Award-winning Narrator Peter Lerman. His reading conveys the contempt and disdain Sinclair felt for the journalists whom he meticulously dissects in this “take-no-prisoners”, full-frontal attack.
