Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Fresh from the projects and a stint in Vietnam, Mike Shea hires into a sprawling shipyard south of the city at the height of Boston's racial clashes. When he encounters a ruthless company and a union leadership whose militancy has faded with the years, Shea reaches across the yard's explosive color line to join and then lead a movement for justice and respect. As contracts for marine tankers are cancelled, management ratchets down on the workforce, igniting chaos and fear throughout the yard. Then a dangerously damaged tanker limps into the yard, triggering hope for new work but forcing Shea and the welders to choose between risking their lives and losing their jobs.
