Summary "In this very short introduction, Colin Ward considers anarchism from a variety of perspectives; theoretical, historical, and international, and by exploring major anarchist thinkers from Kropotkin to Chompsky. He looks critically at anarchism by evaluating key ideas within it, such as its blanket opposition to incarceration, and its policy of 'no compromise' with the apparatus of political decision-making."--BOOK JACKET
