New Men of Power America's Labor Leaders

When C. Wright Mills published The New Men of Power in 1948, hethought labor leaders a new strategic elite and the unions a set of vanguard organizations that were crucial to "stopping the main drift towards war and slump." Today, as the unions once again seek to play a decisive role in American life, Mills' remarkable probe into the structure and ideology of mid-twentieth-century trade unionism remains essential reading. A new introduction by historian Nelson Lichtenstein offers insight into the Millsian political world at the time he wrote The New Men of Power.Mills, C. Wright is the author of 'New Men of Power America's Labor Leaders' with ISBN 9780252026928 and ISBN 0252026926.
