Gene Debs tirelessly urged the self-organization of working people in the United States as their only sure road to freedom. His role in the formation of the Socialist Party particularly provides lessons for our day." <strong>—Mark Lause</strong>
<p>“Debs, the true 'Aristocrat of Labor,' was the singular worker-intellectual who might have done almost anything he wanted. That he chose to sacrifice himself to labor solidarity in the Pullman Strike is, then, all the more remarkable, a dramatic prelude for the life that followed. Editors Tim Davenport and David Walters are to be congratulated and thanked for their earnest efforts.” —<strong>Labor: Studies in Working Class History</strong></p>
