Publisher Description
Rudolf Rocker’s 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.
The present edition is unique in giving a complete facsimile reproduction of the 1938 edition as well as the corrected transcript of the epilogue to the Indian edition of 1947. It has the addition of a new biographical introduction by Nicolas Walter, in which he quotes from previously unpublished manuscript sources.

Necessary History of Progress of Libertarian Socialism Up to 1947, With Sloppy Editing
This book is an absolutely necessary history of the progress of libertarian socialism, if for no other reason than to preserve a record of many of the events and important names involved in movements to promote it. It is noted in the forward that this was quickly thrown together because the movement needed a coherent contemporary history as it was being squeezed by events in Europe at the time. Nevertheless. The editing is not that great, both in writing structure and basic grammatical errors. Nevertheless, it is an engaging read, and also includes some excellent source material to inspire future research and reading.
