Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor
Kim Kelly (Author)
“Fight Like Hell is the most important book on labor published in a generation. It weaves together this radical history seamlessly, bringing it to a crescendo with our current crisis and the people fighting for a better future. Kim Kelly is the best labor reporter there is, and this is essential reading for anyone who believes that workers should control their fate.”
–Shane Burley, author of Why We Fight: Essays on Fascism, Resistance, and Surviving the Apocalypse
