"Gives new significance and meaning to one of the most famous industrial conflicts in U.S. history.-- ""Melvyn Dubofsky, State University of New York at Binghamton"" Krause's dramatic study places the clash at Homestead at the intersection of two concepts of property, one absolute, the other social. He documents how the new technologies of steelmaking led to decisive contests between contending visions of labor in capitalist America.-- ""Charles S. Maier, Harvard University"" Not only brings to life the dramatic events and places them within an analytical context, but it also provides rich biographical studies of key players, from Andrew Carnegie and Henry Frick to labor activists 'Beeswax' Taylor and John Mcluckie.-- ""Peter Rachleff"""
