This article discusses the book "Pioneers of Freedom," by McAlister Coleman. Coleman evidently selected his brief biographies to tell the story of struggles significant only to the working class. The prophets and pioneers in other fields are not here. And since the book was written in response to a request by Pioneer Youth, an organization of and for workers' children, the selection is reasonable. The style is, simple enough to appeal to children but the political and economic concepts are beyond the range of most youngsters' interests. For use in waking up youngsters who are ready for an antidote to the established patriotic hokum about great men in authority, the book is unique.
