Originally published in 1978, we’ have unearthed some of the original edition of this bona fide classic. This is the American edition of the Cienfuegos book. Over the course of 120 pages, through a series of interlinked essays, the likes of Frank Mintz, Jose Peirats, Gaston Leval and Albert Meltzer discuss both the history of Spanish Anarchism, the Revolution in practice, the post-Revolution resistance and internal anarchist organization, and the reemergence of the CNT and Spanish Anarchism after the death of Franco. As enlightening, informative, and relevant as it was when it first appeared almost 30 years ago. A mint first edition, and a bargain price to boot. What more could you ask for!?

The Guillotine at Work Vol. 1: The Leninist Counter-Revolution

Originally published in 1940 in two volumes, this is the (partly eyewitness) account of the Leninist terror inflicted upon Russia. Maximoff, a life-long anarchist, fought in the Russian Revolution, organized with the metal-workers, and was imprisoned by Lenin’s secret police in 1920 when he refused to join the Red Army (he was happy to fight the Whites, but not put down workers’ and peasants’ uprisings). Exiled, he wrote this incredible volume, in English. Over the course of nearly 400 pages, he recounts not only the Leninist terror and reaction against the popular revolution, but shows how the actions of Stalin followed deliberately in h is master, and mentor’s footsteps. Volume 2, unfortunately never reprinted, was a collection of supporting documents/primary evidence. Regardless, this volume stands alone as a stunning, and sadly relevant indictment of the Bolshevik terror. This is the original American edition of the Cienfuegos Press edition, published here in America in 1979.
