by Bruce Nelson
On This Page
Description
"A rich, elegantly written and powerfully argued history of maritime workers, unionism and radicalism on the Pacific Coast. . . . A highly readable and exciting book, it is a welcome contribution to our understanding not only of long-ignored maritime workers but of the labor movement of the 1930s and the Communist Party as well." -- Labor History.Tags
