Men, Mobs, and Law

""Men, Mobs, and Law" is a terrific book, which will speak to wide readerships about the functioning of the state, the nature and complexity of movements that have challenged the state, and the problems that race and class pose for traditional conceptions of American democracy. The book is organized around dramatic cases. These are stories that many of us know well, but Rebecca N. Hill's treatment of them is fresh, lively, richly detailed, and impassioned."--Peter Rachleff, author of "Hard-Pressed in the Heartland: The Hormel Strike and the Future of the Labor Movement"
