Introduction / Rubenstein, T. Annette --

1. Vito Marcantonio: Congressman -- 2. The seventy-fourth congress : 1935 - 1936 -- 3. The seventy-sixth congress : 1939 - 1940 -- 4. The seventy-seventh congress : 1941 - 1942 -- 5. The seventy-eighth congress : 1943 - 1944 -- 6. The seventy-ninth congress : 1945 - 1946 -- 7. The eightieth congress : 1947 - 1948 -- 8. The Eighty-first congress : 1949 - 1950 -- 9. Puerto Rico and its people : 1935 - 1950 -- 10. Lawyer for civil liberties.

Summary: "The present volume is, in a sense, a partial political autobiography. The material presented here has been chosen from the exceptional number of arguments, debates and comments Congressman Marcantonio made on the floor of the House during his fourteen years as a Member, and from the radio addresses, public speeches, letters and other documents he thought important and relevant enough to have inserted in the Congressional Record. There is, therefore, no material included from the years before Marcantonio's first election to Congress in 1934, and none from even such major non-Congressional activities as his New York City Mayoralty campaign of 1949. Nevertheless these pages do, we believe, give a comprehensive picture of his political philosophy and his stand on the important issues which faced the people of the United States from 1934 to 1950. To indicate the nature of some of Marcantonio's work during the last four years of his life there are, in the appendix, substantial excerpts from four of his legal cases." -- from introduction
