Author: Philip Dray
From an award-winning historian, a stirring (and timely) narrative history of American labor from the dawn of the industrial age to the present day. From the textile mills of Lowell, Massachusetts, the first real factories in America, to the trimph of the unions in the twentieth century and the waning influence today, the contest between labor and capital for their share of bounty has shaped our national experience.
