Tulchinsky has provided a valuable and absorbing account of one of the most important and intriguing Jewish labour leaders in Canadian History.' -- Ruth A Frager Labour/Le Travail, vol 76: Fall 2015 This is an important reminder of why, to two generations of Toronto Jews, Salsberg was a folk hero...
