Description

In this compelling collection of wartime dispatches, a seasoned foreign correspondent returns to the United States to gauge how the Russian Revolution has echoed across the Atlantic. Drawing on observations from factories, farms, and labor meetings, he contrasts America's booming post‑war economy with the hardship and upheaval seen in war‑torn Europe. The first three articles map out the extent of Bolshevik ideas on American soil, the nature of industrial unrest, and emerging attempts to reshape unions beyond traditional trades.

The series then turns to possible pathways for lasting peace, examining proposals for industrial councils and the surprising successes of farmers’ cooperatives in organizing without resorting to class conflict. Written in a clear, reportorial style, the pieces offer a snapshot of 1920s America caught between prosperity and the fear of radical change. Listeners gain a nuanced view of how early‑20th‑century labor tensions were debated publicly, making the material both historically rich and unexpectedly relevant today.
