Book Reviews of Workers on the Waterfront: Seamen, Longshoremen, and Unionism in the 1930s (Working Class in American History)
Book Review: a must read for labor historians
Summary: 5 Stars
If you got to this review, buy this book. There are a few problems. Nelson could have spent more research taking the longshoremen's perspective into account. Nonetheless, his research is solid and this is a must for those interested in the Great Depression, San Francisco or labor history. Nelson account is the most complete research on the subject during this era. I only wish he had devoted more time to the East Coast.
