Nicolas Walter was drawn to Anarchism through the twin jolts of Suez and

the Hungarian Revolution during his student years, followed by his

participation in the resulting New Left and nuclear disarmament movement.

Concurrently with his activism, he was acutely and lucidly analysing the

history, practice and theory of these intertwined movements – and it is

such writings, including the seminal ”Non-Violent Resistance and the Spies

for Peace and After”, that form the core of this collection. Scorning the

pomp of academic prose, his writing is accessible and clear.
