Description
From his days of riding the rails, working from harvest to highway project, to his years as publicity director of the CIO, Len De Caux reveals the inside story of the labor movement as he lived it. Bent on discovering for himself what it meant to be a part of a raw, emerging working class, he came to the United States in the early 1920's. His life became interwoven with the labor movement as worker, as reporter and union editor from IWW days through the formative years of the AFL and the railroad unions - and then with the CIO from the time when it was but a gleam in Lewis's eye until the Cold War altered its course. The rise of unionism, and the people who made it happen, spring back to life in Labor Radical, as De Caux weaves a colorful personal narrative of this most exciting period of labor history. - from Amzon
