Global Warming

[Michael Pugliese]

This "book focuses on the impact of the Cold War on labor in Western Europe
and the US. . . . {The Metalworkers} provide one focus, since they were the
largest industrial group in many national confederations and had been
mostoften divided between communists and noncommunists between 1920 and
1945. Another focus is the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), created
in 1945 byunions from 54 countries representing 67 million workers,
including the USSR. Within two years, the WFTU divided along Cold War
lines." (Choice) Bibliography. Index.

And books on Solidarity, a bio of Mitterand, Vichyite, and father of arms
smuggler. Wonder if French Socialism in the 90's would have been less abject
if the current President, who was a Trotskyist in the 60's had been elected
rather than Francois in '82?
