TROUBLEMAKER: Saying No to Power

by Frank Emspak

This is a book of life, the life of a unique figure within the US Left from the 1950s all the way into the early decades of the twenty-first century. It tells a story too little heard in the current outpouring of Baby Boomer memoirs. Frank Emspak’s journey connects the Old Left with the New Left, unions in the industrial era and beyond, and the struggle to communicate to a wide public with all the modern means available.

[Jimmy Tarlau · Rating 5 out of 5]

A well done biography of an activists who was involved in university organizing, anti-war organizing, union organizing (from inside the factory), developing new methods for employer-management cooperation, and later a labor radio show. If I had done half the things FRank had done, I would be very satisfied on what I had done in life.
