Book Review

Strikebreaking & Intimidation: Mercenaries and Masculinity in Twentieth-Century America. By Stephen H. Norwood. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2002. xiv, 328 pp. Cloth, $59.95, ISBN 0-8078-2705-3. Paper, $19.95,ISBN 0-8078-5373-9.)

Billed as "a social history of anti-unionism" (p. 12) over the first half of the twentieth century, Stephen H. Norwood's Strikebreaking & Intimidation examines an aspect of labor history rarely considered in its own right. Studies of individual unions, strikes, or union leaders often include discussions of strikebreakers and corporate security forces as part of their larger stories, and biographies of infamous anti-unionists and studies of the Pinkertons look at union drives only as the background for their subjects' actions. None of these has examined seriously how changing notions of masculinity operated in clashes between pro-union and anti-union forces. Norwood's social history attempts to do just that.
