Errico Malatesta 
The Complete Works of Malatesta 
The Armed Strike: The Long London Exile of 1900–13

The original Anarchy in the U.K.

This volume focuses on the crucial years in Errico Malatesta’s life when he was exiled in London. Responding to what he saw as the unrealistic insurrectionism and isolation into which anarchism had fallen, Malatesta advocated “a long and patient work to prepare and organize the people, ” through which anarchism would operate in broad daylight to entrench itself in the workers’ movement.

Among the concerns Malatesta addresses in this volume are the assassinations of King Humbert of Italy and President Mc Kinley in the US. The emerging radical labor movement that was taking off in England, France, and Spain at the time, and his own imprisonment in England.
