John L. Lewis: An Unauthorized Biography is a book written by Saul Alinsky that delves into the life and career of John L. Lewis, one of the most influential labor leaders in American history. The book provides a comprehensive account of Lewis' rise to power as the head of the United Mine Workers of America, his role in the formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, and his controversial actions during the labor strikes of the 1930s and 1940s. Alinsky's biography explores the complex and often contradictory nature of Lewis' personality, as well as his impact on the labor movement and American politics as a whole. The book also examines Lewis' relationships with other key figures in the labor movement, including Eugene V. Debs, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Harry S. Truman. Overall, John L. Lewis: An Unauthorized Biography is a fascinating and informative look at one of the most influential figures in American labor history, written by one of the most renowned political activists and organizers of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
