Description
Albert Meltzer's autobiography is a lively and witty account of his sixty years of anarchist activism. Spanning his life from the age of 15, Meltzer's story is a unique recounting of many struggles that have shaped the development of anarchism in Britain and other countries. From the post-War anti-Franco resistance to the printers' and miners' strikes, the Angry Brigade activities, and the rise of squatting, Meltzer's experiences provide a fascinating insight into the history of anarchism in the UK and beyond. With a cast of characters that includes notable figures such as Emma Goldman and George Orwell, Meltzer's story is a testament to the power of individual action and collective struggle. Through his autobiography, Meltzer sheds light on often-overlooked episodes in anarchist history, offering a fresh perspective on the development of the movement.
