This short book is very interesting, perhaps most as a history of organized labor, Anarchism and Syndicalism. It is all the more interesting for having been written during the Spanish Civil War, just before the start of World War II, and for the epilogue, written nine years later, shortly after the end of WWII, which provides an update on the state of Anarcho-Syndicalism in the world at that time. The introduction, with biographical information about Rocker, and the story of how the book came into being, is also valuable. Despite featuring prominently in the subtitle, the theory of Anarcho-Syndicalism gets less attention than the practice.
