Sabate, Guerilla Extraordinary
ISBN 1 870 133 00 5
£5.95
This book tells of the life and action of anarchist guerilla Francisco
Sabate in the struggle against Franco’s dictatorship, until he was
killed in 1960. It shows the many ways in which it is possible to strike
the enemy no matter what form it takes, so is still of great validity
today.

Strange Victories.

composition, lack of class analysis and the question of violence, opening
a much-needed debate on struggle and organisation against the nuclear
project within that of capital as a whole.

Peter Kropotkin,
The Conquest of Bread
Introduction by Alfredo M. Bonanno
ISBN 1 870 133 13 X
£4.95
One of the fundamental classics of anarchism, its validity today lies
in Kropotkin’s vision of the revolutionary project as a totality,
something that would be impossible if it were not already in act. Within
this totality the movement finds its orientation, becomes both process
and project in the immense task of the class struggle between exploiter
and exploited. All that would be impossible if the final dream had not
really begun here and now.
Oswaldo Bayer, Severino di Giovanni
Anarchism and Violence
ISBN 1 870 133 04 8
£4.95
The figure of Severino Di Giovanni and his activities in Argentina in
the ’20s highlights a problem that has divided the anarchist movement
from the beginning?that of revolutionary action against the State. The
narrative form and documented accounts supply the reader with both a knowledge
of this anarchist and the little known period in which he lived and carried
on his struggle.
Peter Kropotkin,
The Great French Revolution Vols I & II
Introduction by Alfredo M. Bonanno
ISBN 1 870 133 05 6
£3.95 each
A fundamental interpretation that provides us with a number of observations
of great relevance as Kropotkin ties his interpretation of the Revolution
to the continuous stream of popular action which he sees as having begun
before the Revolution itself.
In the second volume he concentrates on the clash between the Jacobins
and their opponents, the Enragés and the Anarchists. It is in this
clash between authoritarians and antiauthoritarians that Kropotkin identifies
the origins of Marxism and Leninism.
Alfredo M. Bonanno
From Riot to Insurrection
ISBN 1 870 133 08 0
£1.00
The riots of the future will be more bloody and terrible. And they will
be even more so when transformed into mass insurrections. And just as
industrial conditions once made the syndicalist struggle reasonable, in
a post-industrial perspective the only possible strategy for anarchists
is the informal one. Groups of anarchists who come together with precise
objectives based on intermediate aims, who are at the same time building
the minimal conditions for transforming situations of simple riot into
those of insurrection.
