Magnificent Fight: The 1919 Winnipeg General Strike (Inscribed) - Lewycky, Dennis

INSCRIPTION FROM DENNIS LEWYCKY on half title page; As New; In this book, Lewycky lays out the history of this iconic event, which remains the biggest and longest strike in Canadian history. He analyzes the social, political and economic conditions leading up to the strike and illustrates the effects the strike had on workers, unions and all three levels of government in the following decades. Far from a simple retelling of the General Strike, Lewycky speaks to the power of workers' solidarity and social organization, and reveals the lengths the capitalist class and the state went to protect the status quo.
