Rudolf Rocker's (1873-1958) classic survey of anarcho-syndicalism was written during the Spanish Civil War to explain to the wider reading public the ideology which inspired the social revolution in Spain. It remains unsurpassed as a general introduction to anarchist thought and an authoritative account of the early history of international anarchism by one of the movement's leading figures. Rocker's prolific lectures and writings made him one of the best-known proponents of liberty and freedom. "Anarcho-Syndicalism", the most accessible of his works, is now regarded as a classic survey of anarchism at a critical point in world politics. This edition gives a complete facsimile reproduction of the 1938 edition as well as corrected transcript of the epilogue to the Indian edition of 1947.
