About This Item
Virginia City, NV: Silver Dollar Books, 1985. First edition. Paperback. Very Good. 108pp. Slim square octavo [22.5 cm] Pictorial wrappers. With general light wear to the wrappers. From the Introduction-
"Something special happened in the spring and summer of 1934. Maritime workers who had been considered little more than ignorant roustabouts took history into their own hands. They built a powerful new movement from the ground up, waged a complex and bitter strike along the length of the Pacific seaboard, and conducted the only successful General Strike in the country's history... Their success stimulated hundreds of thousands of other workers to organize. In the long run they raised the standard of living of nearly every man, woman and child on the coast, and created working conditions which became the envy of millions of workers in the rest of the nation.
