Zecker also illustrates the panoply of entertainment, sports, and educational activities designed to cultivate the minds and bodies of members."--publisher. "This thoroughly researched, detailed study of the International Workers Order (IWO) tells an important story of the narrowing possibilities of voluntary associations and political discourse resulting from the rampant governmental anticommunism between the 1930s and the1950s.... Zecker has illuminated an important story, and we are in his debt for the superb research and clear writing of his account."--Journal of American History. Octavo. 365 pages. Notes and index.
