‘Well-written, accurate and vastly interesting, Endicott’s fascinating new book Raising the Workers’ Flag should attract the attention of active trade unionists and friends of labour… This well-pictured book recounts the history of our most militant national labour federation.’ - Garnet Dishaw (Our Times Dec-Jan 2013) ‘Few historians have tackled their subject with more enthusiasm, insider insight, and eye popping detail than Stephen l. Endicott has done in this first book-length treatment of the Worker’s Unity League(WUL).’ - Ron Verzuh (BC Studies number 178, summer 2013) 'This is a great book, the product of twenty years of intensive labor in the archives by a historian who has an unmatched sensitivity to the complexities and nuances of communism's history. It achieves that rarest of combinations - immaculate scholarship and gifted story-telling.' - Ian MacKay (The American Historical Review (2013) 118 (5), 1509-1510) ‘This is a great book, the product of twenty years of intensive labour in the archives by a historian who had an unmatched sensitivity to the complexities and nuances of communism history. It achieves that rarest of combinations – immaculate scholarship and gifted story-telling.’ - Ian McKay (The American Historical Review; vol 118:05:2013)
