The World of Worker

A new preface enhances this social, cultural, and political history: an unparalleled picture of working people during the turbulent rise and fall of the labor movement. ''A fresh and provocative look at twentieth-century American unions, and a fine introduction to recent labor history scholarship.'' -- Leslie Woodcock Tentler, Washington Post Book World ''Will be welcomed by anyone with a serious interest in labor history.'' -- Library Journal ''Probably the best social history of twentieth-century labor there is.'' -- Kirkus Reviews ''Virtually replaces any previously existing one-volume popular history of the labor movement.'' -- Ron Radosh, Democratic Left
