History Comes Alive!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Okay, I hate to admit it, but I could never comprehend the need for American Unions - that is until I read the stunning new book by Gloria Skurzynski. Through Ms. Skurzynski's skillful, clear style I encountered the literal world of Sweat and Blood as I followed the lives of brave men and women who dared challenge the status quo. For me the read was transformative. Rare photographs, fascinating true stories and amazing prose make this book a MUST READ for every student, or anyone who collects a paycheck in America. Five HUGE stars! Avid Reader
