“This is a workbook in the best sense. Its approach is original, exhilarating, and most important, practical. The most neglected of all subjects in U.S. schools—the visions and lives of working people—is faced head-on in this book. A must for all people who earn their daily bread.”

—Studs Terkel

“Everywhere I go I recommend this unique book. You want to learn more about labor history than just dates and famous people? Read and use this book. At long last, a book as exciting as labor’s struggle itself.”

—Julia Reichert, filmmaker, Union Maids

“Most school teachers are drowned in paper, but here is one book I want to recommend to them. It is a way of getting American teenagers not just interested, but excited and passionate about their history—modern American labor history.”

—Pete Seeger
