Beskrivelse

"Di Paola's book fills an important gap and helps give a fuller picture of how anarchist movements operated and managed to survive despite repression in their respective homelands." -- Davide Turcato, editor of The Complete Works of Malatesta

Taking its title from Pietro Gori's revered song, "Addio Lugano Bella", The Knights Errant of Anarchy is a collectively biography of Italian anarhists exiled from their homeland during four decades of upheaval throughout Europe. England's generous immigration and extradition policies made it a haven of sorts for anarchist dissidents. Di Paola charts the politics and culture of fledgling organizations and influential individuals as they maintained a global revolutionary network -- under the watchful eyes of spies and informers -- from their adopted home base of London. This first paperback edition includes a new introduction by the author.
