Description
“Insightful. . . . An exhaustive and surprisingly lively account of the integral role labor has
played in American life.―—The Plain Dealer“Spectacular. . . . Drayâ€s chronicle reads like
a novel, filled with dramatic acts of barbarism and bravery.―—Maureen Corriganâ€s Favorite
Books of the Year, Fresh Air, NPR“Engrossing. . . . A memorable and accurate history, one
that reminds us of the honorable part labor played in the quest for what its advocates grandly but
not inaccurately called ‘industrial democracy.â€â€•â€”The Washington Post “Ambitious. .
. . Itâ€s a big colorful tale, and Dray has a gift for characterization as he tells the stories of
dramatic figures such as Mother Jones and Jimmy Hoffa, and dramas such as the Haymarket Riot
and the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire.―—Chicago Tribune“One of the great values of this
beautifully written book is that it shows the centrality of labor and working-class organizations to
America itself. . . . Dray comes into the ring with fists flying, and he doesnâ€t let up for a
moment. If you love Howard Zinnâ€s A Peopleâ€s History of the United States youâ€ll
probably love Drayâ€s history, too.―—San Francisco Chronicle “Dray provides a grand
context for thinking about labor-management relations in a society beset by bad will within millions
of workplaces. . . . He is a refreshing chronicler of history.―—Minneapolis Star Tribune “A
stirring study. . . . Packed with vivid characters and dramatic scenes, Drayâ€s fine recap of a
neglected but vital tradition has much to say about labors current straits.―—The Washington
Examiner“An exemplary history of the American labor movement, from its time-shrouded
beginnings to its murky present . . . in the tradition of Eric Foner and Studs Terkel.―—Kirkus
Reviews (starred)“The unending struggle between unions and big business has never been
more vividly told. Philip Dray is a marvelous story teller who brings history memorably alive, and
you will not soon forget the tales of murder and greed, commitment and sacrifice, that fill these
pages. But this is more than history; the compelling saga of labor as a crucible for social change
should prompt some honest and hard debate about whatâ€s happening to working men and
women today.―—Bill Moyers “Sobering. . . . This unusually interesting book delivers on the
promise of its subtitle. . . . [Dray] offers a balanced and comprehensive coverage of a force for
American progress that is now in danger of becoming a relic of our storied past.―—America
Magazine “Philip Drayâ€s big and bold history of organized labor in America splendidly
retells a story—or a multitude of stories—badly in need of retelling. The labor movementâ€s
decline in recent decades has accompanied a great national amnesia about all that the movement
achieved for the nation. That amnesia threatens those achievements, so Drayâ€s book is timely
as well as gripping.―—Sean Wilentz, author of The Rise of American Democracy'Any union

leader working to define and strengthen the role of organized
