A hefty collection of noted anarchist Nicolas Walter’s writings,
this history recounts the anarchist and peace movements in the
United Kingdom alongside the author’s adventures through
activism. Inspired by the Suez and Hungarian Revolutions and his
participation in the New Left, Walter became an anarchist and
proponent of the freethought movement. Recounting his personal
history in two autobiographical pieces, the author reflects on
his militant involvement in the British nuclear disarmament
movement, his experience as one of the Spies of Peace, and his
connection to the Solidarity group. As an activist, Walter
concurrently analyzed history, political theory, and activist
practices, which he combined to form the backbone upon which he
built his beliefs. Also included are musings on various
intellectual and political figures such as George Orwell, Herbert
Read, C. W. Daniel, and Guy A. Aldred, in addition to ruminations
on the atheism and rationalism and the limitations of
academia.
