John H. M. Laslett is Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of many books, including Labor and the Left: A Study of Socialist and Radical Influences in the American Labor Movement, 1881–1924 (1970) and (with Mary Tyler) The ILGWU in Los Angeles, 1907–1988 (1989).
“John Laslett has managed to assemble here virtually the entire
community of scholars studying the history of mine unionism in
America. What they offer us is not a mere ‘introduction’ but a
remarkable distillation of the best and most provocative thinking
on the subject today. For the United Mine Workers, this volume is a
worthy monument to a century of hard struggle and, for students of
that struggle, it is and will long remain the place where serious
study begins.”—David Brody, University of California, Davis
“I will not hide my enthusiasm for this book. I cannot think of an
equivalent anthology that so well covers the history of a vital
trade and a vital union.”—Walter Licht, University of Pennsylvania
