A sweeping work of historical fiction, Dragon's Teeth chronicles the harrowing rise of Nazi Germany through the eyes of Lanny Budd, the well-connected, idealistic protagonist of Upton Sinclair's long-running series. Set in the early 1930s, the novel traces Lanny's firsthand encounters with the brutal machinery of fascism as Hitler consolidates power, painting an urgent and deeply human portrait of a civilization in moral collapse. Sinclair writes with passionate conviction, blending meticulous historical detail with novelistic tension to illustrate how ordinary lives are shattered by political extremism. The narrative reaches its emotional peak when Lanny risks everything to rescue a Jewish friend from the clutches of the Third Reich, transforming the story into a gripping tale of courage and conscience. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1943, Dragon's Teeth stands as one of the most powerful indictments of fascism ever rendered in American literature. Sidestepping the mainstream publishing machinery, Sinclair distributed these scarce "Published by the Author" editions to his inner circle and dedicated subscribers. A vital acquisition for collectors of Pulitzer Prize winners, political fiction, and unique moments in independent American publishing.
