This is biography at its best. Eric Foner for the History Book Club In this stunning book, Salvatore sets Debs firmly within the central traditions of United States political and social history and depicts, as never before, the triumph and tragedy that characterized the socialist leader's personal and public life. American Historical Review Nick Salvatore's biography is very solid work. The Debs who emerges is a flawed human being - very flawed - yet an extraordinary person: a man deficient in self-knowledge, as public figures usually are, but also a great tribune.
