"This biography, like [Sidney] Hillman's career, is divided into two parts: the first treats of his work as a union officer and of the rise of his union, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America; the second deals with his activities, after the depression of 1929, as the political leader par excellence of labor." -- from the foreword and acknowledgments.
