HTML:<p><b>"The definitive history of an important but largely forgotten labor organization and its heroic struggles with an icon of industrial capitalism." —Ahmed A. White, author of <i>The Last Great Strike</i></b><br /> This rich history details the bitter, deep-rooted conflict between industrial behemoth International Harvester and the uniquely radical Farm Equipment Workers union. <i>The Long Deep Grudge</i> makes clear that class warfare has been, and remains, integral to the American experience, providing up-close-and-personal and long-view perspectives from both sides of the battle lines.<br /> International Harvester—and the McCormick family that largely controlled it—garnered a reputation for bare-knuckled union-busting in the 1880s, but in the twentieth century also pioneered sophisticated union-avoidance techniques that have since become standard corporate practice. On the other side the militant Farm Equipment Workers union, connected to the Communist Party, mounted a vociferous challenge to the cooperative ethos that came to define the American labor movement after World War II.<br /> This evocative account, stretching back to the nineteenth century and carried through to the present, reads like a novel. Biographical sketches of McCormick family members, union officials and rank-and-file workers are woven into the narrative, along with anarchists, jazz musicians, Wall Street financiers, civil rights crusaders, and mob lawyers. It touches on pivotal moments and movements as wide-ranging as the Haymarket "riot," the Flint sit-down strikes, the Memorial Day Massacre, the McCarthy-era anti-communist purges, and America's late twentieth-century industrial decline.<br /> "A capitalist family dynasty, a radical union, and a revolution in how and where work gets done—Toni Gilpin's <i>The Long Deep Grudge</i> is a detailed chronicle of one of the most active battlefronts in our ever-evolving class war." —John Sayles</p>.
