Alexander Berkman was a leading writer and participant in the 20th Century Anarchist movement. The young, idealistic Berkman practiced "propaganda by the deed" attempting to assassinate Henry Clay Frick during the Homestead Steel Strike of 1892. While imprisoned, he wrote the classic tale of prison life Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist. After his release, Berkman edited Emma Goldman's Mother Earth and his own paper The Balst! Deported from NYC to his native Russia in 1919, he saw first hand the failure of the Bolshevik revolution and dedicated himself to writing this classic primer on Anarchism.
