The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in Australia are better
known for the stories told about them than for any document
historical significance. Renowned for their audacity and
hooliganism the 'Wobblies' were particularly notorious for their
active opposition to World War I. This landmark book conveys the
vitality and drama of Wobbly activity, and also assesses the impact
of the IWW on Australian political and labour history. Drawing from
an impressive range of sources, Verity Burgmann writes with vigour
and passion about Wobbly culture, and describes their doctrines,
methods and organisation. The book highlights the unique nature of
the IWW in Australia, and traces Wobbly influence in much post-war
activity. Now, with the widespread collapse of communism and the
inadequacies of labour parties, the IWW, as an alternative form of
revolutionary working-class politics, merits renewed investigation.
