"What Is Anarchism is a classic. It brings together a marvellous selection of inspiring texts with a clear, comprehensive introduction--now updated--to provide a brilliant account of the cares, concerns and commitments that animate anarchist politics and activities of British anarchists since 1945."
--Ruth Kinna, author of Anarchism: A Beginner's Guide
