    Collected here for the first time art articles detailing Marcy's penetrating analysis of the social/economic causes of war, and her libertarian socialist perspective on the struggle against war. Largely because of the articles in this book, the International Socialist Review was suppressed by the US government in 1918. As a summary of the revolutionary Marxist view of war, You Have No Country! is unexcelled. Written three quarters of a century ago, Marcy's hard-hitting critique is still as fresh as today's headlines. Edited and introduced by Franklin Rosemont.

    Babson begins his account in 1848 when Detroit has just entered the industrial era. He weaves the broader historical realties, such as Red Scare, World War, and economic depression into his account, tracing the ebb and flow of the working class activity and organization in Detroit from the rise of the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor in the 19th century, through the Congress of Industrial Organizations and the sitdown strike of the 1930s, to the civil rights and women's movements of the 1960s and 1970s. The book concludes with an examination of the present day crisis facing the labor movement.
