This is history as it should be written: massive research and thorough documentation producing a story that tells itself. Recommended for academic history, labor, and Latin American studies collections. Choice Foner's book is primarily valuable as a documentary record. It pays meticulous attention to the labour and socialist press of the time. . . . [A] worthy source of information.
