Haymarket: A Novel

By Martin Duberman

"Duberman skillfully intertwines the known historical record of this event that brought so much negative attention to Chicago. . . . Duberman has given Haymarket a more human countenance."
--Robert Walch, San Francisco Chronicle

"Easy to read and bursting with history."
--The Seattle Times

A true-to-history account of the Chicago Haymarket riot of 1886, Haymarket brings the passion and turmoil of the late-nineteenth-century labor movement to life. A remarkable, beautifully told tale of love, dissent and self-sacrifice.

Martin Duberman is a distinguished professor of history at the City University of New York and the author of some 20 books, including the Bancroft Prize-winner Charles Francis Adams.
