In 1934, the Pacific Coast was shaken by a massive strike of waterfront workers- on the docks and the ships. In this mighty struggle, the Sailor?s Union of the Pacific, quiescent since it?s defeat in the period after the first World War was reborn. Fighting on San Francisco?s Embarcadero led to the stationing of National Guard troops on the ?front?. This book looks at the Union from 1885 to 1985.
