That said, this anthology has given me new appreciation for those 19th/early 20th century writers whose brand of anarchism might not have matched mine on all points (and sometimes on many points), but whose hatred for the state was both righteous and on-target. No one's anarchism, including the type that I find most congenial and "correct," has all the answers. We are all struggling to reach a clear picture of the power dynamics at play in the relationship of the state to the individual, and to forge a path forward out of the mess we find ourselves in.
I recommend this book to all who claim the anarchist label, or who are merely interested in this way of viewing the world and our societies. Coercion as a means to organize human beings and their economic and social relationships has created untold horrors. The more people who reject coercion, and especially that conducted so brutally by state actors, the better.
Some reviewers have mentioned typos in this book. Indeed, some of the essays are sprinkled with the kind of typos I have seen in texts that were scanned and then run through an optical character recognition program, with insufficient human "clean-up." However, they are not so many as to be unduly distracting and they do not impede reading.
Michael Malice is an interesting guy, by the way, even kind of weird in a good and funny way. I follow him on Twitter, and you should, too.
I hope Mr. Malice creates a trend for himself, and continues to publish books that introduce those to ways of thinking that have habitually been labelled insane in our current society. We need to understand the minds of radical thinkers now more than ever.
This is what Mr. Malice has achieved in this Anarchist Handbook. In it, you will find the most influential works from all greatest minds of the movement. A sort of "best hits" of the last couple centuries. Not some crappy cover of it by a grubby friend; but the most important work, by the greatest minds, from various schools of thought. A fantastic read, and an absolute must have if you're interested in Anarchism!
As for the book itself, it's a basic paperback. Sturdy enough, but not as good as hardcover. Docked a point for the absence of that option. Michael, publish a reference book like this in proper library quality! I'm hoping a second expanded edition in hardcover is forthcoming.
