Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and times of Herbert Coggins, a 20th-century Californian businessman and socialist. The author draws on interviews conducted with Coggins in 1956 to capture his unique perspective on the political and social landscape of his time. The book delves into Coggins' experiences as a young editor in the publishing industry, where he encountered influential literary figures like Upton Sinclair and Jack London. Coggins' later involvement in the burgeoning automotive parts industry provides insights into the economic and labor challenges of the era. As a dedicated socialist, he offers a firsthand account of the rise and fall of the Socialist Party in California, illuminating the struggles and achievements of the movement. This book not only chronicles Coggins' life but also offers a glimpse into the broader social and political currents that shaped American society in the early 20th century.
