Bøger af Anthony Carew

Carew presents a lively and clear account of what has largely been an unknown dimension of the Cold War. In impressive detail, Carew maps the international programs of the American Federation of LabourΓÇôCongress of Industrial Organizations (AFLΓÇôCIO) during the Cold War and its relations with labour organizations abroad, in addition to providing a summary of the labour situation of a dozen or more countries including Finland, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Greece, and India. American LabourΓÇÖs Cold War Abroad reveals how the Cold War compelled trade unionists to reflect on the role of unions in a free society. Yet there was to be no meeting of minds on this, and at the end of the 1960s the AFLΓÇôCIO broke with the mainstream of the international labour movement to pursue its own crusade against communism.
