16 - Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist by Alexander Berkman
Update: 2025-08-19
Description
In 1892, anarchist and Russian emigre Alexander Berkman was arrested for his failed attempt to assassinate industrialist Henry Clay Frick. This act of defiance was intended to ignite a revolution against those who had ruthlessly crushed the Homestead Steel Strike. However, it resulted in Berkmans 14-year imprisonment in the infamous Western Penitentiary of Pennsylvania. First published by Emma Goldman’s Mother Earth Press, Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist is a powerful autobiographical account that offers a harrowing glimpse into the brutal and dehumanizing realities of America’s prison system.
