Eugene V. Debs Reader

'This selection of Debs' words will help introduce a new generation to an authentic American hero whose vision is as powerful today as in years past. - Today, when capitalism, the free market, and private enterprise are being hailed as triumphant in the world, it is a good time to remember Debs and to rekindle the idea of socialism.' - Howard Zinn
