Two Communist Brothers from Washington, New Hampshire and their Fight Against Fascism

"These two brothers, Joe and Homer Chase, brought up on a working farm in Washington, New Hampshire, could never be referred to as 'country boys'. They learned sophisticated lessons of politics and economics at their parents' knees. Each spent his life fighting for the working class. Joe, the elder, fought on the European front in World War II against the fascist threat. At home, he worked in union jobs in the Boston area exposing the evils of the Smith and Taft-Hartley Acts while attending to his duties as a representative of his fellow workers in the Railroad Brotherhoods. Homer, the younger sibling, fought against fascism by joining the Abraham Lincoln Brigade to fight in Spain in the late 1930s, and in World War II as a paratrooper with the 17th Airborne. After his return from the battlefields of Europe, Homer continued the fight for social justice - for Afro-Americans' right to vote and for workers' rights to unionize in the South in the 1940s and 1950s, and later in the North."--P. 4 of cover.
