Chicago Book Club

Mon at 7pm · Chicago
Meet in Barbara's Bookstore on Monday, August 24th to discuss Jack Kelly's "The Edge of Anarchy: The Railroad Barons, the Gilded Age, and the Greatest Labor Uprising in America"! Our book club will go from 7pm-8pm. "The Edge of Anarchy" is 20% off at our store all month long if you need to grab a copy. Reading/finishing the book is not required, just come to chat! To get a feel for the book, here's the jacket description: "The dramatic story of the explosive 1894 clash of industry, labor, and government that shook the nation and marked a turning point for America. The Edge of Anarchy by Jack Kelly offers a vivid account of the greatest uprising of working people in American history. At the pinnacle of the Gilded Age, a boycott of Pullman sleeping cars by hundreds of thousands of railroad employees brought commerce to a standstill across much of the country. Famine threatened, riots broke out along the rail lines. Soon the U.S. Army was on the march and gunfire rang from the streets of major cities. This epochal tale offers fascinating portraits of two iconic characters of the age. George Pullman, who amassed a fortune by making train travel a pleasure, thought the model town that he built for his workers would erase urban squalor. Eugene Debs, founder of the nation's first industrial union, was determined to wrench power away from the reigning plutocrats. The clash between the two men's conflicting ideals pushed the country to what the U.S. Attorney General called "the ragged edge of anarchy." Many of the themes of The Edge of Anarchy could be taken from today's headlines--upheaval in America's industrial heartland, wage stagnation, breakneck technological change, and festering conflict over race, immigration, and inequality. With the country now in a New Gilded Age, this look back at the violent conflict of an earlier era offers illuminating perspectives along with a breathtaking story of a nation on the edge." Please also refer this link to anyone you think may be interested in joining the book club or add plus ones if you're bringing a friend. The more the merrier! This book club is moderated by senior bookseller Chris. Please contact Barbara's Bookstore on State with any questions!
