Description
In this elegant family history, journalist Thai Jones traces the past century of American radical politics through the extraordinary exploits of his own family. The dramatic saga of A Radical Line begins in 1913, when Jones’s maternal grandmother was born, and ends in 1981, when a score of heavily armed government agents from the Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force stormed into four-year-old Thai’s home and took his parents away in handcuffs. Jones’s paternal grandfather, Albert Jones, committed himself to pacifism during the 1930s and refused to fight in World War II. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

State Of The Union : A Century Of American Labor

Attribution
Nelson Lichtenstein
Publication Details
Book, Princeton University Press, 2002
Description
Beginning there, Lichtenstein takes us all the way to the organizing fever of contemporary Los Angeles, where the labor movement stands at the center of the effort to transform millions of new immigrants into alert citizen unionists. The labor movement was therefore tragically unprepared for the years of Reagan and Clinton: although technological change and a new era of global economics battered the unions, their real failure was one of ideas and political will.
