Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist

Alexander Berkman (1870 1936) was a leading writer and participant in the 20th century Anarchist movement. Introduced and annotated by former editors of the Emma Goldman Papers, this is the definitive edition of Berkman's tale of his transformation within prison, his growing sympathy for those he 'd considered 'common criminals', and the intimate relationships he developed. It is the first fully annotated edition of this classic text. This new edition also contains never-before-seen fascimile reprints and transcriptions of the diary Berkman kept while he wrote his memoir.
