The World of the Worker: Labor in Twentieth-Century America

*The World of the Worker* illuminates workers' lives at home, on the job, and in the voting booths. A new preface enhances this social, cultural, and political history: an unparalleled picture of working people during the turbulent rise and fall of the labor movement. "A fresh and provocative look at twentieth-century American unions, and a fine introduction to recent labor history scholarship." -- Leslie Woodcock Tentler, *Washington Post Book World* "Will be welcomed by anyone with a serious interest in labor history." -- *Library Journal* "Probably the best *social* history of twentieth-century labor there is." -- *Kirkus Reviews* "Virtually replaces any previously existing one-volume popular history of the labor movement." -- Ron Radosh, *Democratic Left*
