This book is a partly fictional rumble through the history of the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority that focuses on the decades of the sixties and seventies when the work force changed from Irish-American to African-American and the struggle to control the leadership of Local 100 of the Transport Workers Union. The ride is engrossing - witty, bumpy and on time.
This is a "Historical Fiction" in which the author paints a vivid portrait of the courageous founder of the TWU. He contrasts that up with a nostalgic narrative of the daily lives of transit workers on and off the job. This book is about a transition period in New York City's transit work force history, but it's also about the eclectic New Yorkers who ride the subway.
Under the rumble of the trains, readers will roar with laugher at the insightful and hilarious crew-room conversations that also reveals the love and dedication TA workers have for their jobs. Readers will also gain a new appreciation for the men and women who move the people of the world's greatest city and make the nation's largest transit system work.
