Colin Ward – Anarchy in Action
Saturday 19th April, 5pm

Colin Ward is one of British anarchism’s best-known and respected authors. Colin was the editor of the British anarchist newspaper Freedom from 1947 to 1960, and the founder and editor of the monthly libertarian journal Anarchy from 1961 to 1970, as well as author of a number of crucial texts – many of which are hard to find, but all of which are available at Housmans.

Housmans is proud to welcome Colin to launch the reprinting of his classic text Anarchy in Action. We hope you can join us for this rare opportunity to meet one of the heroes of the British anarchist movement.

the new cover for AIA fails as hard as the last one sad

so odd that the person behind the artwork both times went for images that have precisely nothing to do with what ward was wring about sad
