Summary

The reflections of nine labor leaders who guided their unions through some of Japan's most turbulent industrial disputes. A compelling chronicle of a little examined chapter in Japanese history, it replaces the glossy picture often painted about work relaitons in Japan's large firms with a more realistic account.
