Anarchism and Anarcho-Syndicalism (Freedom Press 2014)

A new edition of this classic with extensive notes. Rudolph 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 tried to chronicle the rise and fall of mass, organised anarchism in Europe. Anarchism & Anarcho-Syndicalism is Rocker’s abridged version of his major work Anarcho-Syndicalism and helps to explain where organised anarchism came from.
