Involving nationwide general strikes, the seizure of vast industrial establishments, nonviolent direct action on a massive scale, and armed battles with artillery and tanks, this exciting hidden history is told from the point of view of the rank-and-file workers who lived it. Encompassing the repeated repression of workers' rebellions by company-sponsored violence, local police, state militias, and the U.S. Army and National Guard, it reveals a dimension of American history rarely found in the usual high school or college history course.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince its original publication in 1972, no book has done as much as \u003cem\u003eStrike!\u003c\/em\u003e to bring U.S. labor history to a wide audience. Now this fiftieth anniversary edition brings the story up to date with chapters covering the \"mini-revolts of the twenty-first century,\" including Occupy Wall Street and the Fight for Fifteen. The new edition contains over a hundred pages of new materials and concludes by examining a wide range of current struggles, ranging from #BlackLivesMatter, to the great wave of teachers' strikes \"for the soul of public education,\" to the global \"Student Strike for Climate\" that may be harbingers of mass strikes to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeremy Brecher \u003c\/b\u003ehas participated in movements for nuclear disarmament, civil rights, peace, international labor rights, and many others. \u003cb\u003eKim Kelly\u003c\/b\u003e is the labor columnist for\u003ci\u003e Teen Vogue\u003c\/i\u003e and an editor at the \u003ci\u003eNew Republic\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eSara Nelson \u003c\/b\u003eis international president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 640\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42164556660871,"sku":"9781629638003","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/73095c5c20c77bf3ba6a4e57d78bb797_88301886-bd35-469d-84ba-4662a56c9a67.webp?v=1733306837","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/strike-paperback-3","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
