In 1949, in New York City's crowded Garment District, a union
organizer named William Lurye was stabbed to death by a mob
assassin. Through the lens of this murder case, prize-winning
authors David Witwer and Catherine Rios explore American labor
history at its critical turning point, drawing on FBI case files
and the private papers of investigative journalists who first broke
the story. A narrative that originates in the garment industry of
mid-century New York, which produced over 80 percent of the
nation's dresses at the time, Murder in the Garment District
quickly moves to a national stage, where congressional
anti-corruption hearings gripped the nation and forever tainted the
reputation of American unions.
