Description
Frank Little was a key figure in the US labor movement, and his life has been largely overlooked. This book chronicles his exploits as an organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), including his involvement in the country's first free speech fights and mass strikes. Little's actions were seen as a threat to corporate interests, leading to his lynching by company thugs. The police and government officials who failed to protect him later used his words and actions to justify a campaign against other IWW members. This book aims to expose Little's life, legacy, and politics to a new generation of radicals. The story is told through Little's own words, as well as the context in which he lived. The cover art features a portrait of Frank Little by Keith Seidel, adding to the book's historical significance.
