> Jeremy Brecher’s *Strike!* narrates the dramatic story of repeated,
> massive, and sometimes violent revolts by ordinary working people in
> America. Involving nationwide general strikes, the seizure of vast
> industrial establishments, nonviolent direct action on a massive scale, and
> armed battles with artillery and tanks, this exciting hidden history is
> told from the point of view of the rank-and-file workers who lived it.
>
> Encompassing the repeated repression of workers’ rebellions by
> company-sponsored violence, local police, state militias, and the U.S. Army
> and National Guard, it reveals a dimension of American history rarely found
> in the usual high school or college history course.
>
> Since its original publication in 1972, no book has done as much as
> *Strike!* to bring U.S. labor history to a wide audience. Now this
> fiftieth anniversary edition brings the story up to date with chapters
> covering the “mini-revolts of the twenty-first century,” including Occupy
> Wall Street and the Fight for Fifteen.
>
> The new edition contains over a hundred pages of new materials and
> concludes by examining a wide range of current struggles, ranging from
> #BlackLivesMatter, to the great wave of teachers' strikes “for the soul of
> public education,” to the global “Student Strike for Climate” that may be
> harbingers of mass strikes to come.
