+{{tab}}It is, however, possible to quarrel with the selection of passages and with the general approach to the movement. Proudhon may have been the first writer who accepted the name of anarchist, but he was hardly the first who was one. If {{w|Godwin|William_Godwin}} is to be excluded because he was only a philosophical anarchist and was not involved in any kind of movement, there should still surely be room for some of those contemporaries and predecessors of Proudhon who were concerned with the practical as well as theoretical applications of anarchism{{dash}}{{w|Bellegarrigue|Anselme_Bellegarrigue}} and {{l|Coeurderoy|https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Cœurderoy}} (there is one short passage from {{w|D&eacute;jacque|Joseph_Déjacque}}) or {{w|Varlet|Jean-François_Varlet}} and {{w|Roux|Jacques_Roux}} in France, for example, and {{w|Hodgskin|Thomas_Hodgskin}} and {{w|Winstanley|Gerrard_Winstanley}} or even {{w|John Ball|John_Ball_(priest)}} in England. It is good to<!-- 'be' in original --> be reminded of Proudhon&rsquo;s importance, but it would be a pity to get the impression that he invented anarchism; he and Bakunin{{dash|also important but surely not all ''that'' important}}together take up nearly half the book, which really does seem too much.
 {{tab}}Similarly, the only individualist anarchist quoted is {{w|Max Stirner|Max_Stirner}}, but he was hardy the only one, and he too was very much a philosophical anarchist{{dash}}if indeed he was strictly speaking an anarchist at all. He is described as a {{qq|solitary rebel}}, but there have been plenty of other individualists who wrote things still worth reading{{dash}}Godwin, {{w|Shelley|Percy_Bysshe_Shelley}} and {{w|Wilde|Oscar_Wilde}} in Britain, {{w|Ballou|Adin_Ballou}}, {{w|Warren|Josiah_Warren}}, {{w|Andrews|Stephen_Pearl_Andrews}}, {{w|Spooner|Lysander_Spooner}} and {{w|Tucker|Benjamin_Tucker}} in the United States, {{w|Libertad|Albert_Libertad}} and {{w|Armand|Émile_Armand}} in France, Chorny in Russia, {{popup|Martucci|Enzo Martucci}}{{dash}}and it would have been interesting to have something from some of them. Even {{qq|Saint Max}} gets only 15 pages, which at less than 3 per cent seems a rather meagre ration for a small but still vigorous variety of anarchist thought.<ref><font size="2">A translation of ''{{l|The False Principles of Our Education|https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/max-stirner-the-false-principle-of-our-education}}'' (1842) has recently been published in the United States{{dash|see the [[Anarchy 92/Max Stirner on education|review]] by [[Author:S.

-{{tab}}There is plenty of Kropotkin, as one would expect, but it is rather oddly chosen. There are two essays and three extracts from his first collection, {{l|''Paroles d&rsquo;un R&eacute;volt&eacute;''|https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-memoirs-of-a-revolutionist}}, and two letters and two descriptions of him during his last years; but there are only three short extracts from the lecture, {{l|{{i|Anarchy}}: {{i|Its Philosophy and Ideal}}|https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-anarchism-its-philosophy-and-ideal}} (which incidentally did not appear in ''Paroles d&rsquo;un R&eacute;volt&eacute;'' as is stated, but was given in 1896, eleven years after the collection was published), to represent the whole period between his imprisonment in France in 1883 and his return to Russia in 1917.

It is true that these are often better known and more easily available than some of the items included, but the result is that his message is distorted; while the passages included are certainly worth reading, they give little indication why Kropotkin should be by far the most widely read of all anarchist writers. It really is time that there was a proper edition of Kropotkin&rsquo;s political works so that we didn&rsquo;t have to rely on old pamphlets, expensive second-hand books, and occasional anthologies to find out what he said.

 {{tab}}No one could object to the representation of Malatesta, but it is a pity to have no other Italian passages, unless one counts {{w|Cafiero|Carlo_Cafiero}}&rsquo;s Swiss lecture, {{l|''Anarchy and Communism''|http://www.socialismolibertario.it/cafiero4.pdf}} (which is incidentally dated 1889 instead of 1880). In the same way, no one could object to the emphasis on the Russian and Spanish revolutions and civil wars, and the passages chosen give excellent pictures in both cases, but it would have been valuable to have something on the similar episodes in Germany and Italy just after the First World War, or on some of the more significant events in, say, the United States, Latin America, China, Japan, or even Britain.

 {{tab}}''Ni dieu ni ma&icirc;tre'' was published to commemorate the centenary of {{w|Proudhon|Pierre-Joseph Proudhon}}&rsquo;s death in 1865, and it covers the century from the appearance of {{l|''What is Property?''|https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/What_is_Property?}} (in which Proudhon became the first person to call himself an anarchist) in 1840 to the defeat of militant anarchism in {{w|Spain in 1939|Spanish_Civil_War,_1938–39}}. After a short preface and a not on the Proudhone centenary by Gu&eacute;rin, there are more than 150 passages divided into ten sections: Proudhon and the {{w|1848 Revolution|French_Revolution_of_1848}}; {{w|Bakunin|Mikhail_Bakunin}} and the {{w|First International|International_Workingmen's_Association}}; {{w|Max Stirner|Max Stirner}}; the {{w|Jura Federation|Jura_Federation}} and the {{w|anarchist congresses|International_Anarchist_Congresses}}; [[Author:Peter Kropotkin|Kropotkin]]; {{w|Malatesta|Errico_Malatesta}}; the French movement from the {{w|1871 Commune|Paris_Commune}} to the rise of syndicalism; {{w|Makhno|Nestor_Makhno}} and the Ukrainian movement during the {{w|Russian Revolution|October_Revolution}} and {{w|Civil War|Russian_Civil_War}}.

 {{tab}}In his conclusion, Gu&eacute; goes beyond the time limit of the end of the Spanish Civil War, and gives the examples of recent Yugoslav and Algerian experiments in workers&rsquo; control of industry to support his argument for the continuing{{dash|or rather, increasing}}relevance of anarchism. They make sense in terms of the detailed organisation of factory work which is his main concern, but hardly in terms of the wider life of the community; it is surely a Marxist fallacy that the mode of production determines the nature of society as a whole. Although Gu&eacute;rin is well aware of the authoritarian features of the Communist regime in Yugoslavia and the {{qq|Socialist}} regime in Algeria (and of the regimes in Russia and Cuba, which he also mentions), his concentration on such examples at the expense of all the others he could have chosen tends to blunten his important point that anarchism is directly related to the problems of modern society, and to strengthen the feeling that in many ways his position is still a form of libertarian Marxism rather than of syndicalist anarchism.
-{{tab}}Gu&eacute;rin rightly attacks such recent historians of anarchism as {{w|Jean Maitron|Jean_Maitron}}, [[Author:George Woodcock|George Woodcock]] and {{w|James Joll|James_Joll}} for saying that the anarchist movement, however excellent it may have been in the past, is now dead and belongs only to the past. He will have none of this, and repeats the message of ''Ni dieu ni ma&icirc;tre. {{qq|Constructive anarchism, which found its most accomplished expression in the writings of Bakunin, relies on organisation, self-discipline, integration, a centralisation which is not coercive but federal. It depends on large-scale modern industry, on modern technology, on the modern proletariat, on internationalism on a world scale.}} On this challenging note, this challenging book ends. It is a remarkable message to find in a cheap paperback produced for a mass market; again, it would be interesting to know what kind of circulation it got in France, with its low price, and what kind of effect it has had on its readers.
