About the Author:

Review:
"I like the combination of events and theory, as well as the 20th century focus."--Robert Rusnak, Rosary College
Praise for the first edition: "Anything that Brody writes is required reading for students of American labor history. It is a great advantage to have Brody's pathbreaking previously published essays collected under one cover."--Robert H. Zieger, Wayne State University
"Thorough, sober, and persuasive."--David Montgomery, Yale University
"A rare treat....Taken together, these essays certainly confirm Professor Brody's reputation as the leading historian of the modern American labor movement, one well able to stand among such earlier greats in the field as John R. Commons and Selig Perlman."--Melvyn Dubofsky, State University
of New York, Binghamton
"The second edition adds two new essays to an already splendid volume that should continue to interest historians, students, and others who are interested in working-class struggles in this century, and in the current crisis of the labor movement."--Michael A. Gordon, University of Wisconsin
at Milwaukee
"I have used the first edition for a decade. The new edition retains the well-known chapters that made the original so valuable while adding two useful new items. The result is an even better book."--Irwin Yellowitz, City College, City University of New York
