| Summary |
During the first two decades of the twentieth century, amidst an extraordinary international upsurge in strike action, the ideas of revolutionary syndicalism developed into a major influence within the world wide trade union movement. Through a comparative study of revolutionary syndicalism in six key countries - France, Spain Italy, America, Britain and Ireland - this book provides a broad international analysis of one of the most dynamic and radical labour movements of the twentieth century. The volume also provides the first ever systematic examination of the relationship between syndicalis. |
