About This Book
A historical and analytical study traces the origins, doctrines, organization, and activities of the Industrial Workers of the World, documenting early radical labor movements, organizational structures, and debates between parliamentary and industrial forms of socialism. The author examines internal ideology and programmatic proposals alongside the movement's public controversies, wartime prosecutions, and development of publications and unions. Attention is given to press representations and popular misconceptions, the practical mechanics of industrial unionism, and contemporary responses from other socialist thinkers, with illustrative charts and commentary to clarify organizational aims and tactical shifts.
