This book is about progress, the progress of ideas, of working class men and women, of industry and union and their relationship, and the progress of a single man, GM/UAW worker John Henry Jackson. The book focuses strongly on the struggle of the UAW to receive recognition within the automobile industry. It tells the story of the union's fight for equality and fairness and the resistance of the large corporations that the union encountered along the way. This book also focuses on the success brought about by the compromise between the union and corporations. This strong history is presented with Mr. Jackson's firsthand account of what it was like to be an auto worker and a union man during times of violence and turmoil. His stories give amazing insight into one of the purest tales of American achievement to ever take place.
