Details about Blue-Collar Empire: The Untold Story of US Labor's Global Anticommunist Crusade:

How the CIA used American unions to undermine workers at home and subvert democracy abroad Blue-Collar Empire tells the shocking story of the AFL-CIO’s global anticommunist crusade—and its devastating consequences for workers around the world.
