Globalisation has created a whole new working class - and they are reliving stories that were first played out some years ago. This work tells the story of this new working class alongside the epic history of the global labour movement, from its formation in the factories of the 1800s to its near destruction by fascism in the 1930s.

this book celebrates a common history of difiance, idealism and self-sacrifice, one as alive and active today as it was two hundred years ago.
