Why read it?
1 author picked Fight Like Hell as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I know Kim Kelly not just as a great labor reporter but also as an activist in my own union.
She brings her deep enthusiasm for radicalism and social justice to her book, which gives readers a ton of background on the ways that the labor movement has fought not just for rights in the workplace but also for the rights of women, disabled workers, sex workers, prisoners, and other groups marginalized by society.
