Land of the Free, Home of the Brave: a Saga in Four Volumes (Book Two-michael) (Volume 2) Peter Marx Second edition

Book Two of Land of the Free, Home of the Brave continues the saga of the DeVito family as they attempt to gain a foothold in their newly-adopted country. Michael DeVito hated the English language but knew that he must master it, if he wanted to follow his dreams. Most of all, he wanted to become a great actor, but he was forced to drop out of school to support his family; and the tailoring factory where he worked was a dangerous, dehumanizing, and unsanitary place. Bernard Hillman was a union organizer, and he and Michael DeVito found a way to force the factory owners to the bargaining table. Together, they ultimately changed how America would come to treat its factory workers.
