Wheels of Fortune: The Story of Rubber in Akron

History. Unions. Akron. From Pulitzer Prize winning Akron Beacon Journal. I have soft spot for this book since it was the first I read about unions in US, specifically Akron, where I grew up, and because they are Akron Beacon Journal stories. This is history I was blissfully unaware. What they didn't teach us in school. There is so much to learn!
