The Chicago Review of Books recently gave an excellent review to Edward McClelland’s account of the 1936-1937 General Motors workers’ strike in Flint, Michigan, calling the book a “blueprint for better working conditions, and for a revival of the middle class.” The Christian Science Monitor also featured the book on its list of the ten best books of February 2021, praising its “vivid” recounting of “one of the biggest labor victories in U.S. history.”
Midnight in Vehicle City: General Motors, Flint, and the Strike that Created the Middle Class is
now available from Beacon Press for purchase online
