Vol. 72/No. 24      June 16, 2008

Teamster Power has an attractive new cover; larger, more readable type; and features 24 pages of photos.

The book is the second of the four-volume series by Farrell Dobbs on the 1930s strikes, organizing drives, and political campaigns that transformed the Teamsters union into a fighting industrial union movement in Minnesota and the upper Midwest. Teamster Rebellion is the first volume in that series. Farrell Dobbs was a leader of the communist movement in the United States and organizer of the Teamsters union during that time.

Teamster Power describes how the men and women of Teamster Local 574 and its class-struggle leadership in Minneapolis extended union power throughout the Midwest through an 11-state over-the-road organizing campaign that brought thousands of truck drivers into the union.

Pathfinder also announced that for the first time ever, an indexed Spanish version of The Revolution Betrayed by Leon Trotsky is now available.

Other newly upgraded Pathfinder titles include The First and Second Declarations of Havana in French, which joins the Spanish and English and a soon-to-be published Arabic edition of that book.

New International no. 5, with the lead article on “The Coming Revolution in South Africa,” has now been published with an index and larger type size. This marks the completion of the project to upgrade the entire series of New International magazines with indexes and more readable type, making them more accessible to workers and youth.
