As the immigrant teenage son of a Croatian miller, Steve Nelson
arrived in the United States after World War I and entered a world
of chronic unemployment, low wages, dangerous work, and
discrimination. Following the path taken by many fellow immigrant
workers, he joined the Communist Party. He became a full-time
organizer and ultimately a major leader, only to resign in 1957
after unsuccessful attempts to democratize the American party.
This remarkable oral biography, recounted in collaboration with two
historians, describes day-to-day life in the party and traces
Nelson's career from his beginnings in the Pennsylvania coalfields
to his secret work as party courier in the Far East; form the
battlefields of Civil War Spain to the jails of Cold War
Pittsburgh; and from a small group of Communist autoworkers in
Detroit to the upper reaches of a party leadership in New York. It
is the frank and analytical account of a leading American
working-class activist.
