Killing for Coal: America’s Deadliest Labor War

Prof. Andrews will discuss his new book, Killing for Coal: America’s Deadliest Labor War, which reconsiders the 1914 Ludlow Massacre from the perspectives of labor and environmental history. It won the 2009 Bancroft Prize for the best book in American history–an honor Professor Andrews shared with our own Pekka Hämäläinen.
This talk is part of the Center for the Study of Work, Labor, and Democracy’s speaker series, and will be co-sponsored by the
Environmental Studies Program as part of its 40th Anniversary Celebration and Critical Issues in America series.
