Industrial Valley by Ruth Mckenney

Industrial Valley by Ruth Mckenney

This novel vividly portrays an industrial city crippled by the country's economic failures and also provides a stirring example of fiction predicated on social and political principles

This is reporting with a purpose; it is fact selected to provide illumination, not fact reported as a record of rainfall, and the result is brilliant history

* New Masses *

Industrial Valley is perhaps the best American example of proletarian literature. Even though it is based completely on fact, I also offer it as one of our best collective novels.

* New Republic *

For sheer dramatic excitement, for effective organization as a story, there isn't one among all the strike novels to match this essentially true story.

* New York Herald Tribune *

Vividly portrays an industrial city crippled by the country's economic failures and also provides a stirring example of fiction predicated on social and political principles.
