A History of the French Anarchist Movement, 1917-1945

Focusing on the French anarchist movement between the wars, this comprehensive history examines their reactions to the Russian and Spanish revolutions and the rise of international communism. It highlights the critical challenges and philosophical debates faced by anarchists during this transformative period. Utilizing original research from the anarchist press and archival materials, the author argues that the movement was more interconnected and robust in the 1930s than previously thought, countering the notion of its isolation.
