Leth hat Skid Road von Murray Morgan besprochen
Left history classic, IMO
4 Sterne
I don't know anything about Murray Morgan, but Seattle's leftist history screams from these pages. A town dominated by monied interests that always has an underbelly of counter-cultural determination. Enjoyed it a lot, especially the 20th century material when these tensions came to the fore the most. Also elements of tragedy in this because the movements rarely succeed, but there are lessons in defeat.
