It tells the story of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), also known as the Wobblies, a radical labor union that was active in the early 20th century in the United States. The book provides a detailed account of the union's history, from its formation in 1905 to its decline in the 1920s.Chaplin, who was a member of the IWW, gives an insider's perspective on the union's activities, including its strikes, protests, and organizing efforts. He also describes the key figures involved in the IWW, including Eugene Debs, Mother Jones, and Big Bill Haywood.The book explores the IWW's unique approach to labor organizing, which emphasized direct action, sabotage, and solidarity among workers of all races and nationalities. It also delves into the union's controversial tactics, including its use of violence and its opposition to World War I.Wobbly: The Rough-And-Tumble Story Of An American Radical is a compelling and informative account of a pivotal moment in American labor history.
