This is a new translation from the French original by Iain McKay except for a few chapters previously translated by Nicolas Walter. It includes all the original 1885 text along with the preface to the 1904 Italian as well as the preface and afterward to the 1919 Russian editions. It also includes many articles on the labour movement written by Kropotkin for Le Revolte which show how he envisioned getting from criticism to a social revolution, and a comprehensive glossary and an introduction by Iain McKay. This is the definitive edition of an anarchist classic.
