“Jon Brandow hits a home-run with his compelling tale of the struggle for workers' rights in a Massachusetts shipyard. The book is simply marvelous and so completely absorbing I did not want to even pause in reading it.”

Bill Fletcher, Jr., author of The Man Who Changed Colors and Solidarity Divided: The Crisis in Organized Labor and A New Path Toward Social Justice.

“Goliath at Sunset captures the hopes, dreams, and frustrations of a 1970s Boston shipyard in an engaging read of that world, its rhythms, language, and culture. For an authentic working-class novel, one can’t go wrong with Goliath at Sunset.”
