A charismatic Italian anarchist who became a folk hero to immigrant and native-born workers alike, Tresca was described by comrades as a 'freelance revolutionary' because of his independent spirit and militant activism. During his wild and adventurous career spanning nearly forty years (1904-1943), Tresca pursued a range of activities unmatched by any of his radical contemporaries: independent newspaper editor, labour agitator and organizer, civil libertarian, foremost leader of the Italian American anti-fascist resistance, and an indomitable foe of Stalinism. Culminating over a decade of research, this fast-paced and vivid biography brings to life the volatile world of radical politics in early twentieth-century America through one of its foremost figures.Italian and Italian American Studies,2635-294XWorld politicsUnited StatesHistoryHistory, ModernEuropeHistoryAmericaHistoryCommunication in politicsPolitical HistoryUS HistoryModern HistoryEuropean HistoryHistory of the AmericasPolitical CommunicationWorld politics.United StatesHistory.History, Modern.EuropeHistory.AmericaHistory.Communication in politics.Political History.US History.Modern History.European History.History of the Americas.Political Communication.335/.83/092BPernicone Nunzio1940-2013.1867748MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965369103321Carlo Tresca4475446UNINA
