Sweat and Blood by Gloria Skurzynski - ADVISABLE


Skurzynski, Gloria Sweat and Blood: A History of U.S. Labor Unions, 107 p. Twenty-First Century (Lerner), 2008.

MS, HS - ADVISABLE

Don't let the page count fool you; this is a deep, detailed look at the history of labor unions in the US. There is enough information here for a student who needs the book to write or a report, yet it is fluid enough for a student who may just be looking for something to read. If your school teaches Lyddie by Patterson, Out of the Dust by Hesse, or any other novel about the Great Depression or unions, this would be a necessary supplement.
