ITEM OVERVIEW
This moving biography presents the definitive story of the life and legacy of the most eloquent spokesperson and leader of the U.S. labor and socialist movements.
"The Bending Cross offers us and old-fashioned - and, yes, incorrigibly romantic - ethos for activism; and antidote to jaded postmodernist cynicism, made compelling and coherent by the example of Debs' own life. It is ironic that the Socialist leader was imprisoned for 'disloyalty,' since what most distinguished Debs was his moral steadfastness and unbreakable loyalty to the labor movement." - Mike Davis, from the introduction
