Books by Samuel Gompers

Focuses on the AFL's struggle to serve the nation and the labour movement during the critical period when American neutrality gave way to war. Beginning with Gompers' last minute effort to persuade German workers to avoid war with the United States, this book follows the labour movement's internal debate over the meaning of American participation.

"This collection belongs on the shelf of anyone teaching American labor history, but it also should prove useful to scholars with related interests." -- Illinois Historical Journal
