In 1937, at the behest of Emma Goldman, Rocker penned this political and philosophical masterpiece as an introduction to the ideals fueling the Spanish social revolution and resistance to capitalism the world over. Within, Rocker offers an introduction to anarchist ideas, a history of the international workers' movement, and an outline of the syndicalist strategies and tactics embraced at the time (direct action, sabotage and the general strike). Includes a lengthy introduction by Nicholas Walter and a Preface by Noam Chomsky.

"[Rocker's] approach is far from 'utopian'; this is not an abstract discourse but a call to action."--Noam Chomsky

Rudolf Rocker (1873-1958) was a leading figure in the international anarchist movement for over 60 years.
