Revolution in Seattle

In this moving, political memoir, celebrated journalist and activist Harvey O´Connor captures the courage and defiance of workers on the march against the carnage of the first World War and the dramatic inequality that marked the era. In particular, O´Connor´s remembrances of the Seattle General Strike of 1919, the first in the nation, showcase his abiding faith in the potential of working people to transform society, and illuminates the vibrancy and militancy of the early American labor movement.
