Using violence as a lens, he provides fresh and original insights into the everyday workings of capitalism, class conflict, race, and gender in the United States and Canada of the late twentieth century, bringing historical perspective to contemporary debates about North American violence. Blood, Sweat, and Fear is the first full-length historical exploration of the origins and effects of individual violence in the automotive industry. Milloy's gripping analysis spans 1960 to 1980, when North American auto plants were routinely the sites of fights, assaults, and even murders.

Workplace violence is typically the domain of management studies and psychology, but while we pass legislation and adopt best practices, the problem continues.
