About this book
Alexander Berkman (1870-1936) was a leading member of the anarchist
movement of the 19th and early 20th centuries. He was the lover and close
associate of Emma Goldman, a Lithuanianborn anarchist with whom he
collaborated frequently and organized civil rights and anti-war campaigns.
In 1892, he attempted to assassinate Henry Clay Frick in retaliation for
his involvement with the Homestead Strike: Berkman subsequently served a
fourteen-year sentence. During World War I he was deported along with
Goldman and other foreign-born American anarchists as a result of the
Anarchist Exclusion Act. His works include: Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist
(1912), The Bolshevik Myth (Diary 1920-1922) (1925) and Now and After: The
ABC of Communist Anarchism (1929).
