Available for the first time in English, here's the gripping story of
Ukrainian anarchist Nestor Makhno. With his usual wit and engaging
style, Skirda chronicles the life of a legend and the insurgent army
that fought in his name. Always controversial, Makhno has been described
as everything from a drunken bandit to an inspirational hero. From
Makhno's imprisonment, to battles with the Bolsheviks and the White
Army, to the final exile in Paris, Skirda captures the life of Makhno
and the history of the Makhnovist movement.
Alexandre Skirda is the foremost anarchist theorist and activist
writing in Europe today.
