In 1936, John Langdon-Davies went to Spain to report on the May Day celebrations for the News Chronicle.

On this second trip he crossed Spain on his motorbike with his teenage son and described what he saw and heard in this book, which he wrote in just five weeks and was published to critical a...

Anarchism and the City: Revolution and Counter-revolution in Barcelona, 1898–1937 - Paul Preston (Preface by) and Chris Ealham

The Spanish Civil War: Reaction, Revolution, and Revenge - Paul Preston
Paul Preston is the world's foremost historian of Spain (and did the foreword for the AK release, Anarchism and the City by Chris Ealham). This surging history recounts the struggles of the 1936 war, in which more than 3,000 Americans took up arms. Tracking the emergence of Francisco Franco's brutal (and, ultimately, extraordinarily durable) fascist dictatorship, Preston assesses the ways in which the...

Social Anarchism - Howard Ehrlich (Editor)
Contemporary anarchist thought from the U.S.A. Serious writing: critical texts, verse and good graphics. Always a hefty review section. This is one of few (ir)regular anarchist publications still coming out in North America. I don't think there's been a bad issue yet.

We The Anarchists!: A Study Of The Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI) 1927–1937 - Stuart Christie
At last. A serious examination of the legendary FAI. And hence, by necessity, a history and analysis of the organised anarchist movement in Spain, and its relationship with the wider labor movement. By far the best book on the subject, Christie is ruthless in his examination - from an anarchist perspective - of the theory, and practice of this loose-knit group of anarchist militants. Required reading for eve...
