A collection of writings and speeches by one of the most radical of America's early 20th century labour leaders which brings to life a once powerful socialist movement. Eugene Victor Debs (1855-1926), one of America's most famous socialists, was an important figure on the American political landscape. He ran as the Socialist Party's (SP) presidential candidate five times and obtained nearly a million votes in 1912 and 1920.
Trade Unionist. Socialist. Presidential Candidate. Jailed Anti-War Activist: Eugene Victor Debs was all of these and more. His career spanned two centuries, from the Gilded Age into the roaring 1920s, Debs' radical presence was uniquely American.
