This had nothing to do with worker's self management in revolutionary Spain. It was simply a partisan history about how awful and authoritarian the FAI were against the CNT, the CNT was against the grassroots collectivists, and the socialists were in general. It also refuses to analyze and presupposes its conclusions, so in general, its just a bad book. Well sourced though.

I would like to read the book the title led me to believe this was. Please let me know when that comes out AK Press.
