Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is history as it should be written: massive research and thorough documentation producing a story that tells itself. Recommended for academic history, labor, and Latin American studies collections. Choice
Foner's book is primarily valuable as a documentary record. It pays meticulous attention to the labour and socialist press of the time. . . . [A] worthy source of information. Latin America Connexions
