	Eugene V. Debs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Debs tried to persuade the ARU members who worked on the railways that the boycott was too risky, given the hostility of both the railways and the federal government, the weakness of the ARU, and the possibility that other unions would break the strike.
		Debs was, however, largely dismissive of the electoral process: he distrusted the political bargains that Victor Berger and other "sewer socialists" had made in winning local offices and put much more value on the organization of workers, particularly on industrial lines.
		Although Debs criticized the apolitical "pure and simple unionism" of the railroad brotherhoods and the craft unions within the American Federation of Labor, he practiced a form of pure and simple socialism that underestimated the lasting power of racism, which he viewed as an aspect of capitalist exploitation.

	E.V. Debs by James P Cannon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Debs was by far the most popular socialist in the heyday of the party, and in the public mind he stood for the party.
		Debs was a many-sided man, the like of which the movement has not seen, and this gave rise to misinterpretations by some who saw only one facet of his remarkable personality; and to misrepresentations by others who knew the whole man but chose to report only that part which seemed to serve their purpose.
		Debs’ course in the internal conflicts of the party was also influenced by his theory of leadership, which he was inclined to equate with bureaucracy.

		It is being offered to the public as a biography of Debs, which is a disservice to all parties involved, especially the reader, who will face difficulties enough as it is. Roughly half the text consists of a footloose and somewhat fanciful account of radicalism in the United States during the 19th Century.
		The rest is focused on Debs in particular -- though "focused" may not be quite the word, since Young is a keen one for the woolly digression.
		The narrative stops short of the crucial moment in 1894 when labor organizer Debs was imprisoned during the Pullman railway strike.
