1982rif. 83700782Winnipeg Manitoba Canada: Ad hoc Winnipeg Committee of Unemployed Youth and Veterans of the Great Depression 1982. Book. Very Good. Paperback. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 72 pages. Circa 1982-83. Perhaps the first book to be written by workers on the question of Canada's entering the second depression.
