The Bending Cross Reviews

The best biography of Eugene Debs yet published .A valuable contribution to the history of American political and economic radicalism. -American Historical Review Masterful. -Michael Harrington The Bending Cross offers us an old-fashioned and, yes, incorrigibly romantic ethos for activism; an antidote to jaded postmodernist cynicism, made compelling and coherent by the example of Debs's own life. It is ironic that the Socialist leader was imprisoned for 'disloyalty,' since what most distinguished Debs was his moral steadfastness and unbreakable loyalty to the labor movement. -Mike Davis, from the Introduction The Bending Cross is a beautiful and important book, even after all these years and the further accumulation of scholarship on the life of Eugene V. Debs. Ray Ginger, a socialist scholar of the heart as well as the mind, captured the real Debs. Hurrah for this reprinting! -Paul Buhle, co-scriptwriter of Eugene V..Debs: A Graphic Biography
