Originally published in 1972, "Strike!" describes the story of repeated, massive and often violent revolts by ordinary working people in America. In this edition Brecher brings the story up to date, with new chapters introducing the labour dimension of the Vietnam-era revolt, and interpreting the rank and file labour struggles of the last 25 years.
