Harvest Wobblies: The Industrial Workers of the World and Agricultural Laborers in the American West, 1905–1930. By Greg Hall. (Corvallis: Oregon State University Press, 2001. 279 pp. $34.95, ISBN 0-87071-532-1.)

In the World War I era, those efforts yielded truly impressive results: the Agricultural Workers Industrial Union (AWIU) represented one of the largest and most dynamic branches of the IWW and the most successful farm workers' labor organization of any sort up to that time. Although previous scholars have detailed aspects of the AWIU's history, this book is the first full-length study of the labor activists Hall calls "harvest Wobblies." . . .
