This revised and updated edition of COPPER CRUCIBLE, the 1994 expose of corporation versus union at Local 890 in Silver City, New Mexico includes the resurgence of union activisim during 1996-97. "Rosenblum . . . Is as deft at sketching brief portraits of key executives, union officials, and rank-and-file strikers as he is at untangling the legal skein in which the miners got fatally ensnared".--NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW.
