DEATH IN THE HAYMARKET(ISBN=9781400033225) 英文原版 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

　　On May 4, 1886, a bomb exploded at a Chicago labor rally,

wounding dozens of policemen, seven of whom eventually died. A wave

of mass hysteria swept the country, leading to a sensational trial,

that culminated in four controversial executions, and dealt a blow

to the labor movement from which it would take decades to recover.

Historian James Green recounts the rise of the first great labor

movement in the wake of the Civil War and brings to life an epic

twenty-year struggle for the eight-hour workday. Blending a

gripping narrative, outsized characters and a panoramic portrait of

a major social movement, Death in the Haymarket is an

important addition to the history of American capitalism and a

moving story about the class tensions at the heart of Gilded Age

America.

　　“Definitive. . . . Green’s dramatic narrative tells a powerful

story about injustice, passion, prejudice and fanaticism.” —The

Chicago Tribune“Though a number of prominent historians have

written about the Haymarket Affair, no one has told the story more

thoroughly, incisively and elegantly than Green. . . . He has

reconstructed both the context and the events of the Haymarket

tragedy with the fine hand of a novelist. The book is rich in plot

development and thick characterization, and its interpretations and

drama leave the reader both informed and drained.”—The San Diego

Union-Tribune“Absorbing. . . .Green . . .brings this tale to

vivid life [and] does a wonderful job of delineating the cross

currents of labor, capital, politics, and terrorism. . .

fascinating and deeply American.”—The Boston Globe“It tells

the tale with extraordinary grace. Its simplicity of expression

carries an understated dramatic charge that stays with you long

after finishing.”—The Nation
