Donald W. Rogers is a lecturer in the department of history at Central Connecticut State University. He is the author of Making Capitalism Safe: Work Safety and Health Regulation in America, 1880-1940 and editor of Voting and the Spirit of American Democracy: Essays on the History of Voting and Voting Rights in America.
"Workers against the City is an excellent, nuanced, and timely
history of Hague and the fight for free speech. . . . His careful
analysis of free speech and civil liberties before the era of FDR
is appropriately grounded in the Reconstruction and World War I
periods." --Labor
"Workers against the City brings a fresh perspective to one of the
more famous free speech and assembly battles of the turbulent
1930s, which was the newly emerging Committee of Industrial
Organizations' and American Civil Liberties Union's clash with the
Jersey City, New Jersey, machine led by Major Frank Hauge."
--Journal of American History
"Rogers set out to write a book about Hague v. CIO, and the book
accomplishes this task admiringly. That it points to other areas
worth exploring underlines its strengths, not it weaknesses." --NJS
