Review Quotes: "'Red Tom' Hickey gives us a rollicking and fully documented ride, a blow-by-blow account of American and Texan socialism in its heyday, written in a spirited fashion that Hickey and his comrades would have appreciated. Buckingham vividly describes the tragic destruction of Hickey's cause and his beloved newspaper, The Rebel, by the trumped-up actions of the Wilson administration."--George Green, founder, Labor History Archives--George Green
