Dynamite: The Story of Class Violence in America

The history of labor in the United States is a story of almost continuous violence.  The author recounts one century of that history in vivid, carefully researched detail.  Covering both well- and lesser-known events - from the riots of immigrant workers in the second quarter of the nineteenth century to the formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) - he gives precise, and often brutal, meaning to the term "class war".
