First edition, first printing. Fine in illustrated boards. "Mining extensive primary sources, Robert Zecker gives voice to the workers in A Road to Peace and Freedom. He describes the group's economic goals, commitment to racial justice, and activism, from lobbying to end segregation and lynching in America to defeating fascism abroad. Zecker also illustrates the panoply of entertainment, sports, and educational activities designed to cultivate the minds and bodies of members."--publisher. "This thoroughly researched, detailed study of the International Workers Order (IWO) tells an important story of the narrowing possibilities of voluntary associations and political discourse resulting from the rampant governmental anticommunism between the 1930s and the1950s. Zecker has illuminated an important story, and we are in his debt for the superb research and clear writing of his account."--Journal of American History. Octavo. 365 pages. Notes and index. Illustrated with period posters and flyers.…
