He writes with intelligence and an insider's sympathy, at times a lover's sorrow. His point is to launch a revivi ying argument. -Michael Novak, author, The Guns ofLattimer, the story of the founding of the United Mine Workers 'Epitaph for American Labor brilliantly describes why the American labor movement has become increasingly irrelevant to the concerns of the great majority ofAmerica' working men and women. Green shows how the labor movement has used its political clout to pursue redistributive economic policies that are often contrary to its own members' interests, as well as the country. But as he convincingly demonstrates, labork strategy will ultimately confine the movement to the left finges ofAmerican politics at a time when the coun- try is rapidly moving right. -Linda Chavez, former director, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights 'Max Green, who has spent many years in the labor movement, has written a book that combines insight with critical analysis. This is the best history ofAmerican trade unionism yet written. -Irving Kristol, coeditor, The Public Interest, and publisher, The National Interest CURRENT AFFAIRS $24.9Z ISBN 0-8447-3996-0 52495 The AEl Press Publisher for the American Enterprise Institute 1150 17th St., N.W.
