On May 4, 1886, a bomb exploded at a Chicago labor rally,
wounding dozens of policemen, seven of whom eventually died. A wave
of mass hysteria swept the country, leading to a sensational trial,
that culminated in four controversial executions, and dealt a blow
to the labor movement from which it would take decades to recover.
Historian James Green recounts the rise of the first great labor
movement in the wake of the Civil War and brings to life an epic
twenty-year struggle for the eight-hour workday. Blending a
gripping narrative, outsized characters and a panoramic portrait of
a major social movement, Death in the Haymarket is an
important addition to the history of American capitalism and a
moving story about the class tensions at the heart of Gilded Age
America.
