Lembcke, Jerry & William Tattam, One Union in Wood, A Political History of the International Woodworkers of America,
     © 1984 International Publishers, New York, NY.

This work suffers somewhat from a Leninist ideological perspective (the authors were members of the Communist Party USA), but it nevertheless provides an accurate history of the IWA (AFL-CIO) and the deplorable and undemocratic tactics the anti-Communist international leadership used against democratically elected progressive local IWA leaders, many of whom were militant, rank & file unionists, but never Communists. The authors are somewhat dismissive of the vital role played by the IWW, including during the lumber strikes of the 1930s.

Tyler, Robert, Rebels of the Woods: The IWW in the Pacific Northwest,
     1967, Eugene, University of Oregon Books.

A generally unsympathetic history of the IWW's role in organizing lumber workers in the Pacific Northwest and Deep South, from the beginnings of the Wobblies in 1905 until the 1960s. The author downplays the importance and success of the IWW's role in winning the eight-hour day in the industry in 1917, and assigns much of the credit to the LLLL instead--a dubious conclusion given the evidence he presents. The book ends on a downbeat note, as the author finished his study just before a major IWW reinvigoration in the early 1960s.
