Hardcover in very good condition with dust jacket. Tight binding, very light foxing.

This study explores in depth one of the most extraordinary but least known episodes of the Great Railroad Strike of July, 1877, in which one of the nation's major industrial cities suddenly found itself ruled by a socialist-led strike committee, and apparently about to be transformed into the first American 'Commune'!
