"One of the ablest leaders and writers of the French New Left describes the two realms of 'anarchism'--its intellectual substance, and its actual practice through the Bolshevik Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, the Italian Factory Councils, and finally the role in workers' self-management in Yugoslavia and Algeria. One sees in 'anarchism' a close kinship to libertarianism of the right, with its horror of state bureaucracy and hostility toward bourgeois (liberal) democracy. Noam Chomsky, perhaps Guérin's American political counterpart, has written a concise and effective introduction which will add to the book's campus appeal. An important contemporary definition f New Left aims and their possible directions in the future." -- Publishers Weekly
