IMPORTANT EVENT: The 1937 Memorial Day Massacre, in which Chicago police shot 10 demonstrators and beat more than 100 others, and was a turning point in the long movement for „industrial democracy.“ 2) WELL – WRITTEN: Reviewer Nelson Lichtenstein writes, „It is an impressive manuscript, sweeping in its scope, timely and important in its subject matter, and tragic and triumphant in its climactic chapters. The author has a keen intelligence and a striking capacity to set a scene, capture a mood, recount an incident, and make the dusty transcript of a police report or a Senate hearing jump from the page and enliven our consciousness once again.“
