A rich collection of stories about ordinary people who resisted oppression and exploitation, Brandon Weber's short essays capture the little-known moments of struggle when workers and veterans built movements of hope and defiance. From the mines to the factories to the fields, Weber shares the experiences of the real-life men and women who organised, heroically resisted, and battled the bosses and corrupt politicians. In the spirit of A People's History of the United States, this book conveys engaging and accessible narratives of ordinary people who have indelibly shaped US history.
