Summary of Eugene V. Debs: Citizen and Socialist (Working Class in American History)

In "Eugene V. Debs: Citizen and Socialist (Working Class in American History)," Nick Salvatore paints an intimate portrait of Eugene Debs, a titan in the American labor movement and a pivotal figure in the Socialist party. This biography delves deep into the life of Debs, from his modest beginnings to becoming a formidable advocate for workers' rights and a five-time Socialist candidate for president. Published on March 15, 2007, the book not only chronicles Debs's public endeavors and his staunch belief in American Socialism as a natural extension of democratic values but also provides a candid look at his personal life, exploring his roles as a child, sibling, husband, and lover.

This thoughtful exploration is ideal for adult education settings, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of economic justice through the lens of a significant historical leader.
