Anarcho-syndicalist trade unionist, anti-fascist, engineer and founding member of the Syndicalist Workers Federation, Tom Brown presents an introduction to syndicalism, workers control and libertarian communism. An examination of trade unions and why they let us down leads to why syndicalism is the best method for building a society of workers’ control. The book clearly explains the principles according to which syndicalist unions organize, and the new society they aim to create "within the shell of the old".
