Book Synopsis
An in-depth and gripping account of the Arizona Miners' Strike of 1983.

Trade Review

Copper Crucible is a powerful analysis of labour-management relations in the American mining industry during the 1980's. It is also a powerful exposition of the influence individuals play in those relationships. By examining the dispute from a number of perspectives, Rosenblum has ensured that influences such as gender and ethnicity are not obscured in the overall analysis of the events.

-- Harry Knowles * Journal of Industrial Relations *

Rosenblum writes with the verve of a good journalist and the empirical precision of a fine scholar. He is as deft at sketching brief portraits of key executives, union officials, and rank-and-file strikers as he is at untangling the legal skein in which the miners got fatally ensnared.

-- Michael Kazin * New York Times Book Review *
