"Taking on General Motors is essential to anyone who cares about the union movement and its future. I know of no other narrative in the union or community organizing literature which analyses with considerable insight the political life of a union local. Leadership and organizing are as difficult to explain in print as playing the violin or choreographing a ballet. Eric Mann has brilliantly overcome the problem and given us a work of enduring value."
