These articles have been pruned down to their essentials and collected under subheadings ranging from \"Ends and Means\" to \"Anarchist Propaganda.\" Through the selections Malatesta's classical anarchism emerges: a revolutionary, nonpacifist, nonreformist vision informed by decades of engagement in struggle and study. In addition there is a short biographical piece and an essay by the editor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErrico Malatesta\u003c\/b\u003e was an Italian anarchist.
