The Desert of Wheat
A young Washingtonian farmer, torn between love and the desire to serve his country. A classic portrait of America at the time of World War I.
"Readable and engrossing." --The New York Times
The Desert Of Wheat is a thrilling and romantic tale of sabotage in the wheat fields of the Pacific Northwest during World War I. A passionate novel of patriotic and anti-union propaganda, it portrays the anxieties of the young country threatened by a foreign war after the closing of the frontier. Grey captures the heart of a nation at the brink of a century of change. Famed Western writer Zane Grey veers from his typical narrative trajectory and treads into topical waters in The Desert of Wheat. Honorable wheat farmer Kurt Dorn is torn over whether he should join in the fight against Germany or remain in the U.S. to protect his family and crops. Will home or the battlefield hold sway?
