When Workers Shot Back: Class Conflict from 1877 to 1921
explores one of the most tumultuous times in United States history. Self-organized workers recomposed their power by devising new strategies and tactics to disrupt the capitalist economy and extract concessions.

Turning conventional wisdom on its head,

argues that the escalation of working-class conflict drives rather than reacts to the consolidation and reorganisation of capital and economic and political reform of the state.
