Il più vasto e il più violento movimento di lotte nella storia dei paesi industriali è ancora pressoché sconosciuta nella sua sua storia complessiva : una sanguinosa successione di brutalità e di terrore, di stragi e di esecuzioni, di attentati e di autentiche battaglie combattute con tutte le armi da i proletari e contro di essi, che ha sconvolto l'America da 1870 al 1930. Questo libro scritto, scritto da un militante e pubblicato negli USA nel 1931, ne offre la più completa e show more articolata ricostruzione attraverso testimonianze dell'epoca show less
