Description: "Study of union movements - particularly oil workers' syndicates - in Venezuela to 1950. Argues that the Communist Party was the dominant force in the labor movement in its early decades. Based largely on oral histories and union publications; presents a somewhat simplistic vision of Gen. Juan Vicente Gómez as a tool of the oil companies"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
