Reviews
"[Dubofsky] likes the historical imaginations of social scientists, and his method is to blend their insights within a traditional framework focused on the Presidency in order to 'bring the state back in' to labor history."--New York Times Book Review
"The State and Labor in Modern America is an excellent book with many powerful and well-substantiated points."--Industrial and Labor Relations Review
"An expert guide to the half-century of political and legal turmoil that preceded Taft-Hartley and a persuasive reaffirmation of the significance of organized labor in twentieth-century history."--American Historical Review
"Dubofsky's analysis is bracing and should generate much debate."--Journal of American History
"A masterful history of the federal law of industrial disputes and collective bargaining in the century after 1873. . . . The State and Labor in Modern America is also first-rate history, the best synthesis yet published of the public policy of labor relations in industrial America."--Reviews in American History
"This expert historical essay should be read by all political scientists."--Political Science Quarterly
