The daily said:

In introducing the series, the paper wrote that Teamster Rebellion is
"written by Farrell Dobbs, an American communist. The book is published by
Talaye Porsoo Publications and is devoted to the struggles of American
workers. In the next few issues you will be reading parts of this book."

1. Having served time with Cindy Jaquith on /The Militant/ staff in the 
early 1970s, I can only say how impressed/puzzled I am that she has hung 
on this long.
2. I guess Jaquith's promise of more excerpts to come in future issues 
of this now-irrelevant newspaper (and "party") just goes to show how we 
can look forward to a possible repeat of the Minneapolis strikes of 1934 
in Iran. The implied optimism is breathtaking.

Tehran daily serializes
'Teamster Rebellion'
 
The Tehran daily Donya-e-Eqtesad (The World of Economics) is serializing the
Farsi-language translation of Teamster Rebellion. The newspaper is sold at
newsstands throughout Iran.

In introducing the series, the paper wrote that Teamster Rebellion is
"written by Farrell Dobbs, an American communist. The book is published by
Talaye Porsoo Publications and is devoted to the struggles of American
workers. In the next few issues you will be reading parts of this book."

The book tells the story of the militant 1934 strikes in the United States
that built the industrial union movement in Minneapolis and helped pave the
way for the CIO, recounted by a central leader of that battle.

Each installment in the Tehran paper has a photo and caption. The book was
originally published in English by Pathfinder. Editions in English, Farsi,
Swedish, and Spanish are available from distributors listed on page 8 or
pathfinderpress.com.
