| Summary |
"This book provides a comparative and transnational examination of the complex and multifaceted experiences of anti-labour mobilization from the bitter social conflicts of the pre-war period through the epochal tremors of war and revolution, and the violent spasms of the 1920s and 1930s. It retraces the formation of a market for corporate policing, privately contracted security and yellow unionism, as well as processes of professionalization in strikebreaking activities, labour espionage and surveillance. Offering way of examining the violent transition to mass politics in industrial societies, it is of great interest to scholars of policing, unionism and striking in the modern era"-- Provided by publisher. |
