Eugene V. Debs by Nick Salvatore
Citizen and Socialist
Tracing the life of a charismatic working-class organizer, the book follows his rise from railroad fireman to leader of the American Railway Union and central figure in the Pullman Strike, his evolution into a committed socialist and five-time presidential candidate, and his imprisonment for antiwar speech during World War I; it situates his politics in his religious upbringing, populist roots, and devotion to democracy and civil liberties, portraying him as both a pragmatic organizer and moral voice whose struggles shaped the American labor and socialist movements.
