A 1932 book by Walter Arnold Rukeyser, an American mining engineer, with a foreword by Oswald Garrison Villard, published in New York by Covici-Friede. The author recounts consulting for the Soviet asbestos trust Uralasbest, including work at Asbest in the Urals from August 1929, and covers travel, the GPU, how the trust was run and how workers lived. It describes the May 1929 burning of the new "Gigant" mill and compares Asbest's output with Quebec's. It also mentions dust aspirators and a town sited windward of mill dust.
