Bakunin

Praise

“Unfailingly informative … and frequently exciting, Leier’s biography reintroduces a fascinating revolutionary, knowledge of whose ideas helps one place such recent phenomena as the World Trade Organization protests in meaningful historical context.” –Booklist

“The life of Bakunin (1814–1876), the Russian architect of the anarchist movement, provides a surprisingly enjoyable introduction to the tumult of 19th-century radicalism … [Leier] brings welcome consideration to the real merits of the movement.” –Publishers Weekly
