Palmer, Bryan D.

(Book #ID 98246)

Published by Haymarket Books, Chicago, Illinois First Edition 2013. 2013.

First edition in publisher's original colour illustrated stiff card wrap covers [soft back]. 8vo. 9'' x 6''. Full printer's code to the copyright page 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Minneapolis in the early 1930s was anything but a union stronghold. An employers' association known as the Citizens' Alliance kept labour organisations in check, at the same time as it cultivated opposition to radicalism in all forms. This all changed in 1934. The year saw three strikes, violent picket-line confrontations, and tens of thousands of workers protesting in the streets. Bryan D. Palmer tells the riveting story of how a handful of revolutionary Trotskyists, working in the largely non-union trucking sector, led the drive to organise the unorganised, to build one large industrial union. What emerges is a compelling narrative of class struggle, a reminder of what can be accomplished, even in the worst of circumstances, with a principled and far-seeing leadership. Contains 308 printed pages of text with 24 pages of monochrome archive photographs. In Fine condition, no dust wrapper as issued. Member of the P.B.F.A. ISBN 9781608463794
