Full bibliography

Inco is the world's largest producer of nicke. This gripping account of the corporation is an essential contribution to an understanding of concentrated economic power, how it operates in Canada and the Third World, and its human consequences. J.P. Morgan, Wilfrid Laurier, John Foster Dulles, and the CIA all play roles in the intrigue surrounding Inco's growth. Ranged against them are the workers who produce the wealth. Members of the Western Federation of Minders, the Industrial Workers of the World, the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers and the United Steelworkers of America all confront Inco. A story of resistance emerges - of union busting, of attacks by company goons, and of successful organizing drives. Today the struggle broadens to achieve safe working conditions and a cleaner environment. As Inco extends its arms around the world in an attempt to keep up its profits, Indonesia and Guatemala are confronted with a new chapter in a familiar colonial story. Military dictatorship and corporate expansion go hand in hand. The largess of the Canadian government facilitates the process. --Publisher's description
