John L. Lewis

John L. Lewis (1880-1969), who ruled the United Mine Workers for four decades beginning in 1919, defied presidents, challenged Congress, and kept American political life in an uproar. Drawing upon previously untapped resources in the UMW archives and upon oral histories by major figures of the 1930s and 1940s, the authors have created a remarkable portrait of this 'self-made man' and his times.

The book provides a detailed account of Lewis' rise to power in the labor movement and his leadership of the United Mine Workers of America. Alinsky explores Lewis' controversial tactics and his impact on the labor movement, as well as his personal life and relationships.

This is the story of a 30 year, one-man war. The author confesses his bias - in favor of labor, in friendship with Lewis, but he manages to present Lewis convincingly, with his complicated personality, his inconsistencies, his dynamic power, his ruthless use of any means to his end. He traces the steps by which he reached the peak from the pits of Illinois mines. He tells how he created C.I.O. in protest over the limitations of A.F. of L.; of how he secured his own U.M.W. even at the cost of dictatorship. He goes behind the scenes for his breaks with Green, with Murray, with Roosevelt. But the end-all is gains for his miners - in pay, in safety, in security. Brilliant analysis, an unflaggingly interesting chapter in American labor, it provides an interesting insight into a fascinating part of American history. It's a reminder of what unions did achieve and it is a contrast to the comparative powerless of unions these days.

In competition for a mostly unclaimed continent, Spanish, English, Dutch, French and Portuguese explorers guarded their maps as state secrets, as knowledge of the landscape was the key to acquisition. Though technically innacurate and incomplete, the early maps reveal active imaginations.

Lewis B. Patten: I skyggen av galgenDe siste ti årene hadde Lew Moffit vært på flukt fra minnet om det som hadde hendt med hans far og bror. John Kennebeck, distriktets mektigste mann, hadde i ti år sett frem til at Lew skulle komme tilbake igjen, for å få tilfredstilt sitt hat. Datteren hans, Sarah, hadde også sett frem til Lews hjemkomst, men av en ganske annen grunn …John L. Shelley: Den fortapte dalenFabrikkeierne sto klare til å drukne hele dalen under vann, og hadde sørget for å beskytte prosjektet ved hjelp av en gjeng hardkokte revolvermenn. De tok fort kamplysten fra farmerne. Brutalt ble de som protesterte, skutt og sendt hjem fastbundet til hesten sin – til skrekk og advarsel for de andre. Så dukket Jess Langley opp.
