	RADICAL NOMAD: C. WRIGHT MILLS AND HIS TIMES, by Tom Hayden (Paradigm Publishers, 2006) Hayden cogently traces Mills's scholarship and his progressive activism to the events and thinkers of earlier generations. Ideas in major books by Mills (The Power Elite, New Men of Power, White Collar, Character and Social Structure, The Sociological Imagination) can now be better understood in light of the influences on Mills during and before his time, including the impact of two world wars, the Great Depression and the New Deal, the failures of the Soviet state, and changing relations between workers and industry in America and worldwide. The book thus brings us a new and much more complete understanding of Mills's political theories and philosophy. Available at Amazon.com

	STREET WARS, with a new introduction on the globalization of gangs (New Press, 2005) The Los Angeles Times says “Hayden deserves credit for championing a constituency for whom few politicians are willing to vouch and most are happy to vilify.

	REBEL (Red Hen Press, 2003) The Atlantic writes “Tom Hayden changed America. Before him, nobody saw the possibility of a political movement based on the middle class college student’s quest for meaning in life. Hayden brought this movement to live, and so was father to the largest mass protests in American history, whose reverberations we are feeling today.” Christian Science Monitor: “a brilliant book...political autobiography at its most effective. Available at Amazon.com
	IRISH ON THE INSIDE (Verso, 2001) The New York Times says “a work of the poetic imagination, lovely, imagistic prose.” Niall O’Dowd says “if you read only one book about Irish America, this should be it.” Available at Amazon.com .
