Description: "This carefully documented book makes novel use of opinion surveys of workers and offers a detailed picture of international aspects of labor union activity during a momentous period in international affairs. A worthy addition to this important series." --Choice"Silverman does not like the ending, but he tells the story very well." -- Ronald L. Filippelli,American Historical Review"Silverman's research will surely have to be considered seriously in all future discussions of twentieth-century labor." -- Bryan D. Palmer,Journal of American History"This is a book about failure. Silverman has examined the failure of the social democratic promise to embed itself as the reality of the lives of people in the post-World War II world. . . . An extremely rich and suggestive work. . . . Silverman's contribution is in illuminating the role of the TUC and the CIO while paying close attention to the relationship between the rank and file and international relations in the two countries." -- Stephen Burwood,Labor HistoryADVANCE PRAISE "A well-crafted, fully engaged historical argument that all students of the postwar world must confront."-Nelson Lichtenstein
