According to Wikipedia, "The Union of Russian Workers in the United States and Canada, commonly known as the 'Union of Russian Workers' was an anarchist political association of Russian emigrants in the United States. The group was established shortly after the failure of the Russian Revolution of 1905 and was essentially annihilated in America by the 1919 Red Scare in which it was targeted by the Bureau of Investigation of the U.S. Department of Justice. Thousands of the group's adherents were arrested and hundreds deported in 1919 and 1920; still more voluntarily returned to Soviet Russia. During its brief existence the organization, which was only loosely affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World, published numerous books and pamphlets in Russian by anarchist writers, operated reading rooms and conducted courses to teach newly arrived Russians English, and fulfilled a social function for emigrants half a world from home." This rare automotive book was written to provide Russian emigres the knowledge necessary to learn this trade and secure a job. In this way this rare book, by fostering a tangible working-class skill, marked a departure from many of the polemic writings of the Union of Russian Workers. It was also one of the last publications before the demise of the Union. Very few of the books exist, Worldcat lists only five copies held in US libraries.Condition: Good. The binding is sound. The covers show wear, including rubbing and bumping. The spine is chipped and frayed at the head and toe. The inside covers and blank end papers are discolored. The interior is clean and crisp.
