Praise
“The life of Bakunin (1814–1876), the Russian architect of the
anarchist movement, provides a surprisingly enjoyable introduction to
the tumult of 19th-century radicalism. . . . Leier brings welcome
consideration to the real merits of the movement.”
—Publishers Weekly on Bakunin: The Creative Passion
“The time for Bakunin—the real one, not the caricature—has come
again, and Mark Leier has given us just the history that we need.
Wonderfully written, scholarly but also packed with fascinating tales
and fresh revelations, Bakunin: The Creative Passion is passion with purpose.”
—Paul Buhle
“Unfailingly informative and frequently exciting, Leier’s biography
reintroduces a fascinating revolutionary, knowledge of whose ideas helps
one place such recent phenomena as the World Trade Organization
protests in meaningful historical context.”
