[Toby Mustill · Rating 4 out of 5]

A different type of book, “Solidarity Forever” gives the read a page or two of context into the chapter’s topic, followed by a number of first hand accounts of an IWW member in that topic.

While not my usual type of book, it was still greatly enjoyable and interesting.

Great oral history of the OBU in organizers own words.
