This second edition of James Joll's admirably comprehensive and graceful book introduces the reader to the personalities, the theories and the practical politics of the anarchist movement throughout its history. In the first part the author discusses the early precursors of anarchism and then, in Part Two, he presents the full spectrum of anarchist activity in many countries during the heyday of the movement in the nineteenth century. The third section and the Conclusion chronicle the fate of anarchism in the twentieth century and cover, amongst other important matters, the Spanish Civil War and a discussion of the quasi-anarchist student movements of the late 1960s. This is a new and revised edition of a widely acclaimed and very important work.
