As a boy in the 1930s, Kenneth Moore experienced the misery of the
Great Depression firsthand. When he grew up after having watched
President Franklin Roosevelt work furiously to rescue a population
from joblessness and poverty, Moore became a union organizer and
executive in the positions of international vice president of BRT
and UTU.
Over a lifetime of fighting for the working man and woman, Moore
faced death threats, a stabbing, a robbery, and relentless
opposition. He traveled the world for the cause of labor and
witnessed history. Now Moore looks back on that life in a sweeping
memoir that is the story of a man, a movement, a family tapestry,
and a rich meditation on some pivotal and horrific moments of the
past: Hiroshima (with never-before-released survivor interviews),
the Holocaust, and the atrocities done to Native Americans.
"Tragedies and Fortunes" is a fascinating insider's look at the
rise of organized labor and the times in which it came to be. It's
a tale of heroes and villains, of struggles against greed and
triumphs for good. It's a great American story, a life lived in
devotion to a cause, and one man's lessons from the past that may
help all of us make better choices for our future.
