Add a CommentA good review in Bookforum. A fine description of the Paris Commune. After that it seems to lose its way. More interested in the secret police than anarchists. Yet neither group gets in-depth analysis. It did give me a better understanding of the difference between the anarchist and Marxists. And very revealing of Marx's manipulations during the early Internationals Overall, it was a letdown
