Bøker av Edmund F. Wehrle

Details American labor's surprisingly complex relationship to the American War in Vietnam. Breaking from the simplistie story of ""hardhat patriotism,"" this book uses archival material to demonstrate the AFL-CIO's dedication to social, political and economic reform in Vietnam.

Lively and accessible, America and the World draws on the most recent scholarship to provide a historical introduction to one of today's vital and misunderstood issues.

Rather than as a Falstaffian figure of limited intellect, Edmund Wehrle reveals Babe Ruth as an ambitious, independent operator, one not afraid to challenge baseball's draconian labour system. This new perspective, approaching Ruth more seriously and placing his life in fuller context, is long overdue.
