I liked the essays on the Pullman Porters and the Detroit auto workers the best. Interesting to read, from today's perspective, an essay written in the 1950s, about Detroit in the 1930s. The essay on women in the socialist movement was about... love? Not so good. Skimmed through some of the less interesting chapters. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Through brilliant portraits of real persons who created the myths and realities of the 1930s, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Murray Kempton brings that turbulent decade to life. Himself a child of the time, Kempton examines with the insight and imagination of a novelist the men and women who embraced, grappled with, and in many cases were destroyed by the myth of revolution. What he calls the "ruins and monuments of the Thirties" include Paul Robeson, Alger Hiss, and Whittaker Chambers, the Hollywood Ten, the rebel women Elizabeth Bentley and Mary Heaton Vorse, and the labor leaders Walter Reuther and Joe Curran.
