John L. Lewis (1880-1969), who ruled the United Mine Workers for four decades beginning in 1919, defied presidents, challenged Congress, and kept American political life in an uproar. Drawing upon previously untapped resources in the UMW archives and upon oral histories by major figures of the 1930s and 1940s, the authors have created a remarkable portrait of this 'self-made man' and his times.

"A great event for all students of recent American history." --David Brody, Reviews in American History "This ambitious and remarkable volume puts Lewis center stage again. More than a biography of the most significant trade union leader since Gompers, this exhaustively well-researched work is, in fat, a signal contribution to a munch needed reinterpretation of American labor politics in the crucial second quarter of the [twentieth] century. . . . This well-illustrated, engagingly-written volume deserves a prominent place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the history of American labor in the twentieth century." --Nelson Lichtenstein, Labor History
