Great writing. Lots of good issues for discussion.

This book is so rich with historical information it is hard to point to one event in the book and say that that is the pivotal moment it grabbed me. I loved it from beginning to end.

Interesting to learn about the early struggles if unionizing in Boston. None of us knew much about these events. A compelling story wrapped in true events with compelling characters. Slow starting out but gets better and better as it continues.
