Riassunto

Theirs was a world of extremes---from the North Mill with its red-hot steel and iron and its oppressive layer of soot, to the South Mill, with its clean-swept floors and glooming finished products. linplate, pipe, and I-beams. They knew the contrast also between the blast furncice---a veritable bell on earth, where the hot iron flowed and the acrid smell of combustibles permeated the air---and the eerie calm and darkness found working near the river at 3:00 a.m.

The Mill---the Jones & Laughlin Aliquippa Works---was once the largest intograted steel making plant in the world. The mill itself no Ionger exists, but go stand on the site by the Ohio River and you will feel the memories and the presence of those who have come before you . . . I have.

In this moving and personal work, Rade Vukmir vividly recreates life in an American steel town. Relying on extensive interviews and his own experience in the industry. Dr. Vukmir offers a retrospective summary of the life and times of a divorse group of steel workers who were the heart and soul of one of America's largest industrial facilities. Here is the story of the hopes and frustrations, the triumphs and the trials of these workers, captured in a way that will be valuable to the academic and the general reader alike.

Raised in Aliquippa, a steel lown in western Pennsylvania, Rade B. Vukmir, J.D. grew up in a family that was intimately involved in the steal industry. His grandfather worked as a blast furnace watertender for fifty-five years, and his father worked as a rigger at the mill until his death in an industrial accident in 1973. His mother was also employed as a machinist's helper, and Vukmir himself worked as a summer employee in the blast furnace as well, at the Aliquippa plant.

With advanced degrees in both medicine and low, Dr. Vukmir is president of Critical Care Medicine Associates, a medical administrative and consulting enterprise.
