Molly Maguires & the Detectives

A brilliant depiction of a famous episode in American history, especially important today not only for its ethnic overtones but also for its effect on the development of trade unionism in the United States. Although written from the point of view of the mine owners and their hired detectives and strike-breakers, this work gives a valuable insight into the psychology of Pinkerton and his private "detective" force. ILLUS.
