Triangle: The Fire That Changed America is a nonfiction history by David Von Drehle that examines the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City and the wider world that made it possible. Rather than treating the disaster as an isolated tragedy, the book places it inside the realities of early 20th century industrial capitalism, immigrant labor, machine politics, and reform movements. It reconstructs the conditions in the factory, the events of the fire itself, and the legal and political aftermath that followed. The result is both a human account of a workplace catastrophe and a study of how public outrage can accelerate change. By focusing on the lives of the young immigrant women who worked there, the book also restores moral and historical attention to people often reduced to statistics in standard labor history narratives.
