About

Part memoir, part informed commentary on farm labor, the U.S. labor movement, and the political economy of agriculture, Lettuce Wars is a lively account written from the perspective of the fields. Neuburger portrays the people he encountered - immigrant workers, fellow radicals, company bosses, cops and goons - vividly and indelibly, lending a human aspect to the conflict between capital and labor as it played out in the fields of California. --Publisher's decription.
