When he grew up after having watched President Franklin Roosevelt work furiously to rescue a population from joblessness and poverty, Moore became a union organizer and executive in the positions of international vice president of BRT and UTU.Over a lifetime of fighting for the working man and woman, Moore faced death threats, a stabbing, a robbery, and relentless opposition. He traveled the world for the cause of labor and witnessed history. Now Moore looks back on that life in a sweeping memoir that is the story of a man, a movement, a family tapestry, and a rich meditation on some pivotal and horrific moments of the past: Hiroshima (with never-before-released survivor interviews), the Holocaust, and the atrocities done to Native Americans.Tragedies and Fortunes is a fascinating insider's look at the rise of organized labor and the times in which it came to be. It's a tale of heroes and villains, of struggles against greed and triumphs for good. It's a great American story, a life lived in devotion to a cause, and one man's lessons from the past that may help all of us make better choices for our future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51959605428512,"sku":"NEW0595471005","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/tragedies-and-fortunes-a-memoir-0595471005","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
