"Eugene V. Debs's journey from the Hoosier conservatism of his youth to the committed radicalism for which he is best remembered is chronicled in his extensive correspondence. Volume 2 covers Debs's continuing efforts for the Socialist party in America, including his unsuccessful candidacy for Congress from his Indiana district. Debs's famous 1918 antiwar speech made in protest of World War I led to his conviction for wartime espionage. This volume concludes with Debs's letters from prison in Moundsville, West Virginia. The three volumes of Debs's correspondence contain more than 1,500 of the 10,000 extant letters to and from Debs during his controversial lifetime. J. Robert Constantine spent more than a dozen years compiling, editing, and annotating this collection. Reading Debs's correspondence with the leaders and foot soldiers of the major social movements of his time helps trace the progress of such struggles as woman suffrage, prison reform, abolition of child labor, early attacks on Jim Crow laws, and opposition to war." -- from the dust jacket.
