Reviews

Based on impressive research, Bussel s study of Powers Hapgood is at once an illuminating biography of a labor activist and a fascinating case study of a familiar social type: the disillusioned upper class youth who seeks redemption in liberation movements. Cogent and insightful, Bussel s book will have wide appeal. </p> Daniel Nelson, University of Akron</p>

In this well-written biography, Powers Hapgood emerges as a model political radical and organizer. Hapgood is principled, dedicated, intellectually vigorous, and willing to practice what he preaches. He respects the integrity of ideas and of the workers and radicals he calls comrades, even when it means he must suffer painful personal consequences. The reader celebrates Hapgood's and labor's successes, shares the pain of their defeats, and learns from this history of individual and social struggle. --Alan Singer, Hofstra University
