About This Book

The study recounts the rise and ideas of revolutionary syndicalism in France, explaining how trade unions and socialist and anarchist currents coalesced within the General Confederation of Labor to advocate direct action, strikes, and sabotage as means to restructure economic and social relations. It combines institutional history with analysis of syndicalist theory, tactics, and internal debates, tracing organizational development, ideological aims to fuse unionism with revolutionary socialism, and the practical consequences for labor politics. Chapters balance historical narrative and critical description to relate theory closely to practiced methods.
