Description
This book is not, strictly speaking, a memoir but rather is a compilation of some 10,000 news articles penned by Wheller over the course of the last half of the 20th century. In pulling together this compilation Wheeler mined research lbraries accross the country. Originally written on assignment for the Worker, Daily World, People's World and People's Weekly World, his articles represent a history of our nation and of the world from Wheeler's proggressicve point of view,
More than just a compliation of articles, however, the book represents a documentation of Wheller's lifes journey, at least in relation to his reporting. and includes little persomal gems, like his impressions of various public figures and other reporters. All in all this book is required reading for anyone who wants to get a view of things from a working persons perspective - a perspective that is so sadly lacking today.

News for the 99% is must reading ..... A great work and a great compendium of timeless articles that bring history alive and offer lessons for today.- Joelle Fishman, Chair, Political Action Commission, Communist Party USA.
Tim's reprting is powerful, immediate, often telling stories that were not reported elsewhere. I see and hear the voice of the people he wrote about. He was privleged to meet these folks and tell their stories while critical events were happening. It nust have meant a lot to them that somebody listened to them and shared their voices. - Dan Lynn Watt, Author, "History Lessons: A Memoir of Growing Up in an American Communist Family."
Tim Wheeler, and his writing, are inspirational - Tony Pecinovsky, President of the St. Louis Workers' Education Society.
