Bill White Tells it Like it Was
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
A Hard Man to Beat was a story told to Howard White (no relation) by Bill White, former president of the Marine Workers and Boilermakers Union. Bill brought about many changes that made such a difference to the "little guy", or "the working stiff" as Bill referred to his colleagues. He speaks the truth and tells what happened without trying to polish up the story to make it politically correct. The book was reviewed by many TV and radio stations after it was published and was ordered by an Ontario University to use in its Political Science classes. A good read and one that will make you look at modern day politicians in a new light.
