Unfortunately I ended up DNFing this book @ 40%. It was obviously very well-researched and informative. However, as I am not American and have limited knowledge of the history of the unions in the US, I found it hard to keep up with all the different figures mentioned, and the sheer number of acronyms made my head spin. I think this book would be an ideal fit for someone who has a base understanding of unions in the US already and/or someone who is interested in quite dense nonfiction books. I wouldn't recommend it as an entry point to the topic but rather a book that builds on existing knowledge. I may return to it in future once I have more understanding of the topic.

Thank you to NetGalley and Verso Books for an eARC copy.
