Summary:
"The book is the first, complete account of the General Strike of Seattle, when in February 1919, 110 local unions shut down the entire city of Seattle, Washington. For five days, workers from all trades and sectors - streetcar drivers, telephone operators, musicians, miners, loggers, shipyard workers - fed the people, ensured that babies had milk, that the sick were cared for. This had never happened before in the United States and has not happened since. Cal Winslow explains why"-- Provided by publisher.
