The Seattle General Strike of 1919 was America's first citywide
labor stoppage, a defiant example of workers' power in the
aftermath of World War I. Told in gripping detail by one of the
era's great labor journalists, "Revolution in Seattle" captures the
dramatic dynamics of workers organizing strike committees to take
control of their city from below. Republished on the tenth
anniversary of the 1999 "Battle in Seattle" against the World Trade
Organization, Harvey O'Connor's book offers lessons and inspiration
to a new generation of rebels.
Harvey O'Connor was a seminal labor journalist and historian,
whose work exposed the greed of the depression-era "robber barons"
and labor struggles nationwide.
