Description: This book tells the story of how the Passaic textile strike, the first time that the Communist Party led a mass workers' struggle in the United States, captured the nation's imagination, and came to symbolize the struggle of workers throughout the country when the labor movement as a whole was in decline during the conservative, pro-business 1920s. Although the strike was defeated, many of the methods and tactics of the Passaic strike presaged the struggles for industrial unions a decade later during the Great Depression.
Review Quotes: "Red Thread is a riveting deep-dive into that history. Let us hope our upsurge is coming. We have work to do to prepare."-- "Tempest"
