add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "The New Men of Power," by C. Wright Mills and Helen Schneider. The author informs that Mills is working for unions and the American labor leader. Mills examines organized labor with the blistering, shivering honesty of a scientist. Layer after layer, he picks and probes through union hierarchy. His laboratory has been the union office and the national front porch. In lieu of a microscope he has used a squad of public-opinion toll-takers. The author says that at the end of all his efforts Mills comes up with a book that has long been needed, if the reader expects an anecdotal account of the lives and loves of labor's prime movers, he will be disappointed.
