“‘FIGHT LIKE HELL’ is the most important book on labor published in a generation.”
“Meticulously researched and beautifully told, [in FIGHT LIKE HELL] Kim Kelly has established herself as a true champion for the working class.”
‘FIGHT LIKE HELL: The Untold History of American Labor’
by Kim Kelly
Journalist and Teen Vogue labor columnist Kim Kelly’s debut is an expansive and inclusive book that “unearths the stories of the people—farm laborers, domestic workers, factory employees—behind some of the labor movement’s biggest successes” (The New York Times).
Inspirational, intersectional, and full of crucial lessons from the past, Fight Like Hell is “essential reading for anyone who believes that workers should control their fate” (Shane Burley, author of Why We Fight).
“In this remarkable interweaving of past and present, Kim Kelly brings America’s rich (and bloody) labor history, its most marginalized workers, and their most recent battles to vivid life [...] At once urgent and insightful, FIGHT LIKE HELL not only informs, it inspires.”
“You’ll never look at American history the same way again.”
