Book for an adult
"Three Strikes: Miners, Musicians, Salesgirls and the Fighting Spirit of Labor's Last Century," by Howard Zinn, Dana Frank and Robin D.G. Kelley. Three top scholars present the dramatic stories of the Ludlow Massacre, the Woolworth's walkout and the New York musicians' strike.

Both of the above books are available to purchase online through Powell's books, http://www.powells.com, a unionized bookseller. "Three Strikes" is currently on sale for a special price at May Day bookstore in Minneapolis.
