hrjs9223's review against another edition
Whilst it did inform me of a lit, the second half just became too tedious without having a pretty developed prior knowledge of 19/20th century european politics.

4.0
Interesting and easy-to-read history of anarchist movements and thinkers, featuring many amusing anecdotes.
jeff_cochran's review against another edition
5.0
The book, written in the middle of the 20th century, necessarily limits its scope to anarchism before 1939. The author is a Canadian non-proponent of anarchism that writes exclusively about anarchist movements outside of Canada.
If you are at peace with this and the implicit limitations (namely, a critical but fair review of European anarchism up to the end of the Spanish civil war), this book is a great read. The author, irrespective of the topic, wields a generational talent for superb writing. I will be checking out his other books.
