The Log of Rubin the Sailor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780717803873)

The story of four decades of life at sea is told in this autobiography of a sailor who served in the Navy in World War I and as a merchant seaman in the years that followed. The author, a founder of the National Maritime Union, splices a warm personal tale to an account of the struggles at sea and ashore to build a fighting union. His story is a meaningful bridge between yesterday's labor history and the union problems of today.
