America: A History in Verse: Volume 1: 1900-1939
"All hail the history of strikes!" All hail Ed Sanders and the Fugs!
This is a great historical satire written in a loose heroic verse. I learned a lot about the Wobblies and other radical groups from the early 19th century. There are details of long forgotten battles like the New York Rent Strike (Wish I was there). Basically, Sanders is writing the history of American Social Democracy and it's battle with the Rockefellers and other "cap-slime". His rapid fire adjectives are hilarious. It's also a good time to read this book with the modern health care debate raging.
