Revolutionary industrial unionism : the industrial workers of the world in Australia
Verity Burgmann writes with vigour and passion about the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in Australia. The book claims that this alternative form of revolutionary working-class politics has been undervalued. It describes the 'Wobblies' activities and culture, and their impact on Australian political history.
