Forbath’s book is certain to provoke lively and health-giving debate; it will be required reading for all students of American labor history. -- David Brody, University of California, Davis\u003cbr\u003eIn this admirable synthesis of legal and social history, Forbath reconstructs in brilliant detail the bitter drama of the most violent years of U.S. labor relations, the era of the labor injunction… It effectively replaces Frankfurter and Greene’s classic of 1930 on labor injunctions as the standard work on the subject. -- Robert W.
