In his characteristic style, Bill Dunne gives in this pamphlet a detailed, day-to-day account of this historic struggle. The spread of the longshoreman's strike to the Maritime crafts, its development into a general strike, the terror, the cowardly scoundrelism and deliberate betrayal of the A. F. of L. leaders, the waterfront workers outmaneuvering the bosses, the Communist Party's emergence from illegality, and the aftermath of the strike are carefully recounted. Also included is the resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, "Lessons of Recent Strike Struggles."

In A Terrible Anger, David F. Selvin presents a narrative history of the strikes. Unlike other labor historians who have stressed the importance of radical groups involved in the strikes, he addresses the impact on unions, owners, government, and the daily press. A witness to the strikes, Selvin has written a compelling story of the traumas and triumphs which acted as catalysts for the tumultuous labor battles of the mid-1930s.
