This excellent book by Solfed aims to recover some of the lost history of the workers' movement, in order to set out a revolutionary strategy for the present conditions. In clear and accessible prose, the book sets out the anarcho-syndicalist criticisms of political parties and trade unions, engages with other radical traditions such as anarchism, syndicalism and dissident Marxisms, explains what anarcho-syndicalism was in the twentieth century, and how it's relevant - indeed, vital - for workers today.
You can buy hard copies of Fighting for ourselves for £6 (including p&p) from Freedom Press (UK - £5 in the shop), and for $10+p&p from Thoughtcrime Ink Books (North America). For other countries please contact Solidarity Federation.

We see revolutionary theory as an aid to organising workers struggle and not, as is so often the case, as a means of dominating and controlling it. It is only through our collective immersion in day-to-day struggles that we can adapt and change tactics to meet changing conditions.

Oh, and there are some fucking hilarious comments on Anarchist News.
Good to see this now available on this site so it can get a wider read and hopefully some more serious critical reviews.
Had my say on the other 'New pamphlet...' thread so I wont repeat what I said at various points there, but might have another go if any other points of substance get posted here.
Printing "Fighting for Ourselves" at Black Cat Press:
