Rudolf Rocker remains one of the most important figures in the history of anarchism, from his key role organising against sweatshop labour in London in the 1900s to being the moving spirit behind the founding of the largest ever anarchist international — the IWMA in 1921.
In his later years he attempted to chronicle the rise and fall of mass, organised anarchism in Europe. 'Anarchism and anarcho-syndicalism' is Rocker’s abridged version of his major work 'Anarcho-syndicalism' and helps to explain where organised anarchism came from. This book’s lessons are a must for anyone interested in where it is going.
