A Leader of the Garment Workers: The Biography of Isidore Nagler is a book written by Harry Haskel that tells the life story of Isidore Nagler, a prominent figure in the American labor movement during the early 20th century. Nagler was a Jewish immigrant from Russia who came to the United States in 1892 and worked in the garment industry in New York City. He quickly became involved in labor organizing and was instrumental in the formation of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU), one of the largest labor unions in the country at the time.The book traces Nagler's life from his early years in Russia to his arrival in the United States, his work in the garment industry, and his leadership role in the ILGWU. It also explores the broader social and political context of the time, including the rise of industrialization and the labor movement, the struggles of immigrant workers, and the impact of World War I and the Russian Revolution.Through Nagler's story, the book provides a vivid and detailed picture of the challenges faced by workers in the early 20th century and the efforts of labor leaders like Nagler to improve their working conditions and secure their rights. It also offers insights into the complex relationship between labor and politics, and the role of unions in shaping the social and economic landscape of the United States. Overall, A Leader of the Garment Workers is a compelling and informative biography that sheds light on an important period in American history and the people who helped shape it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
