Feldman, a longtime employee at Ford's Michigan Truck Plant, interviewed 30 of his fellow workers to gather material for this book, written with Detroit Free Press reporter Betzold. ``The subjects talk about their lives, their jobs, their families, their futures--and the tone is profoundly pessimistic,'' judged PW . Nevertheless, ``the authors conclude with a rousing chapter on what can be done to insure a brighter tomorrow for the working class.'' Illustrated. (Sept.)
