Class War, USA is a fairly short book and Weber gives only short descriptions of each event. It is, really, an introduction to class struggle in the US but it is a very interesting one, covering a great deal of the history from the 19th c. to the present and is a great place to start for anyone interested in America’s class history and how it has shaped the country. At a time when unions are on the wane and much of the working class throughout the west have suffered from the austerity that has accompanied neoliberal economic policies, it is easy to become despondent about the direction not only of the US but of the west in general, it is heartening to see that people have faced many similar struggles in the past and, through solidarity, they have overcome.
