Praise for The Great Industrial War:
"The Great Industrial War fills a huge gap in the study of news media and history."
—Christopher R. Martin, author of Framed! Labor and the Corporate Media
"The Great Industrial War is a beautifully written, well-argued book that will stand out as a distinct and original work within American labor history."

—American Historical Review
Description:
The Great Industrial War, a comprehensive assessment of how class has been interpreted by the media in American history, documents the rise and fall of a frightening concept: industrial war. Troy Rondinone examines how the mainstream press, along with the writings of a select group of influential reformers and politicians, framed strike news. He explores the influence of historical experience on popular perceptions of social order and class conflict and provides a reinterpretation of the origins and meaning of the Taft-Hartley Act and the industrial relations regime it supported.
