A fire at a clothing factory nearly a century ago was the catalyst for many of the labor benefits enjoyed today. "Triangle: The Fire that Changed America" by David Von Drehle, chronicles the events leading up to the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company that killed 146 of its workers. It's the story of life before labor laws, worker rights and the rise of urban liberalism.
David Von Drehle, "Washington Post" journalist and author
