Description:
In the annals of radical history, Alexander Berkman's "Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist" stands as a searing indictment of the American penal system and a testament to the indomitable spirit of resistance.
Berkman, a prominent anarchist and labor activist, was imprisoned for 14 years for his role in an assassination attempt on industrialist Henry Clay Frick. Within the grim confines of Western Penitentiary, he endured unimaginable hardships, including solitary confinement, brutal beatings, and psychological torture.
Yet, amidst the despair, Berkman's spirit soared. He found solace in books, education, and the unwavering support of fellow prisoners. His memoirs, written in secret and smuggled out of prison, offer a harrowing account of his ordeal and a profound meditation on the nature of freedom, justice, and the human condition.
