Negative Positive
Title: Excellent , balanced investigation of mostly hidden episode
Review: As a labor lawyer, and native of Homestead,Pa., I thought I was very familiar with U.S. labor history. Lukas reveals the events in Idaho with a skill and tenacity that is eye-popping for even the most-seasoned reader in this area. The turn-of -the century class war in the West comes alive, exposing the extremes resorted to by both sides. After this book, Idaho from 1890-1906 will take a place in U.S. labor history alongside Homestead, Matewan, Blair Mountain and Harlan County,Ky.
