Yet, as the contributors to this volume demonstrate, the unionization of the steel industry, and most notably the role of SWOC and Philip Murray in that process, has received far less attention than it deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with a discussion of why the unionization of steel has been relatively neglected by labor historians, the contributors to this volume analyze early organizing efforts in steel, the major transformations wrought and felt by the union, and the character of the union members and leaders. Critical throughout is discussion of the role of Philip Murray in shaping the United Steelworkers of America into one of the premier economic, social, and political institution of the war years and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e David Brody, Malvyn Dubovsky, Ronald L.
