Abstract
Martin Glaberman's political outlook stands in the long shadow cast by C.L.R. James and George Rawick, but his review (November 1996) of my recent biography of Walter Reuther does this scholarly tradition no credit. Glaberman buries a useful critique of my work beneath an assault so careless and confusing as to make one wonder if he understands the historical method, or perhaps more charitably, if he actually took the time to sit down and read the book. As a consequence, Glaberman often attacks me for agreeing with him, while ignoring those sections of the biography at which real political differences arise.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.
