      abstract = {On May 4, 1886, a bomb exploded at a Chicago labor rally,  wounding dozens of policemen, seven of whom eventually  died. Coming in the midst of the largest national strike  Americans had ever seen, the bombing created mass hysteria  and led to a sensational trial, which culminated in four  controversial executions. The trial seized headlines across  the country, created the nation's first Red scare and dealt  a blow to the labor movement from which it would take  decades to recover. Historian Green recounts the rise of  the first great labor movement in the wake of the Civil War  and brings to life the epic twenty-year battle for the  eight-hour workday. He also gives us a portrait of Chicago,  the Midwestern powerhouse of the Gilded Age. Throughout, we  are reminded of the increasing power of newspapers as they  stirred up popular fears of the immigrants and radicals who  led the unions.--From publisher description.},
