Originally published in 1953, Burning Valley tells the story of Benedict Bulmanis, son of a Lithuanian immigrant steel worker in western Pennsylvania. Determined to become a priest, Benedict faces inner conflict as he witnesses the steelworkers' struggle against the destruction of their homes and the separation of classes that even his church cannot escape. As the story unfolds, Benedict loses his faith in God but acquires a new faith, in the power of the working class and the justice of their cause. Alan Wald's introduction focuses on the semi-autobiographical aspect of the book as well as its "multifaceted dramatization of ethnicity and race."

Bonosky (an author and political activist) wrote the bulk of this study in the 1980s; some observations have been added to this edition of the events that took place in the 1990s when the Taliban took power. The text, based on the author's personal observation of events in Afghanistan, encompasses a far-left view of American activities there that in hindsight may be recognized as prescient. Annotation c.
