Hope dies last : keeping the faith in difficult times / Studs Terkel.

Terkel, Studs, 1912-2008 (Author).

Summary:

These interviews--with congressmen and cooks, union organizers and CEOs, students, immigrants, activists, veterans, priests and lawyers--constitute an alternative history of the American century. They form a legacy of the indefatigable spirit that Studs has always embodied, an inheritance for those who, by taking a stand, are making concrete the dreams of today.--From publisher description.
