In November 1933, the Socialist Party of Bridgeport, Connecticut won a stunning victory in the municipal election, putting slate roofer Jasper McLevy in the mayor's seat. This book probes the factors that led to this electoral victory, uncovering a legacy of activist unionism, and business manipulation of local politics and taxes.
