Description
Tom Geoghegan was at Harvard Law School when he had his first brush with organized labor, as dissident coal miners sought to wrest their union from the grip of a corrupt leadership. He emerged with a firm commitment to the worker--and a keen eye for the ironies of his chosen career. Now he creates a portrait of labor under siege in the 1980s.
