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
