Alexander Berkman

Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist, written by Alexander Berkman and first published in 1912, details his 14-year imprisonment following a failed assassination attempt on industrialist Henry Clay Frick in 1892. This autobiographical work provides a stark account of life in Pennsylvania's Western Penitentiary, highlighting the brutal conditions and dehumanization within the American prison system. Notably published by Emma Goldman's Mother Earth Press, it serves as a significant reflection on anarchist ideology and the struggles against oppressive societal structures.
