"Today, Frank Little gets remembered as another Wobbly martyr,
overshadowed by folksinger and labor organizer Joe Hill. But as
historian Irving Werstein wrote, "Next to Big Bill Haywood, Frank
Little was the most vital leader of the IWW." Arnold Stead's short
and engaging Always on Strike: Frank Little and the Western
Wobblies aims to recover his mighty struggles and special boldness
as object lessons for left-wingers organizing in the shadow of the
Great Recession....'[I]n today's working class and left movement,
which is only yet regaining the confidence to strike and struggle
in isolated pockets, Stead's words hit the nail on the head. And so
does Frank Little's story."
