Summary "This book examines 11 years in Malatesta's life, from 1889 to 1900, which he spent for the most part in exile in London, the headquarters of continental anarchism, while at the same time he made his presence strongly felt in Italy and other countries. This period is broad and central enough in Malatesta's life to allow a comprehensive view of how his ideas developed. At the same time, it is sufficiently restricted to allow a detailed empirical reconstruction of his action. This last task necessarily requires a broader study of how the anarchist movement functioned ... The book is both a historical tracing and a systematic analysis of Malatesta's anarchism"--Preface.
