1. The International Socialists, which now exists as Solidarity, traced its ideological roots to the 1940 division within the Trotskyist movement. Max Schactman, Irving Howe, Dwight Macdonald, Hal Draper, and others then argued that the Soviet Union was not, as Trotsky argued, a "degenerated workers state" worthy of critical support, but a "bureaucratic collectivist" regime, as repressive in its own way as any state in the capitalist world. See Peter Drucker, Max Shachtman and His Left: A Socialist's Odyssey Through the "American Century" (Atlantic Highlands, 1994). Solidarity is now largely responsible for publication of the widely respected Labor Notes.

As a dissertation, my book was rejected by both Greenwood Press and University of Kentucky Press; Cambridge University Press took it only because of a political/generational shift. Steve Fraser had become the history editor at Cambridge; one of the readers to whom he sent the manuscript was Peter Friedlander, who had just published the pioneering social history The Emergence of a UAW Local, 1936-1939: A Study in Class and Culture (Pittsburgh, 1975).
