"Like all really good ideas, Anarchy is pretty simple when you get down to it-human beings are at their very best when they are living free of authority, deciding things among themselves rather than being ordered about." So begins the only modern anarchist classic.

#1 source of anarchist clip art.
I have the old edition of this, I think it's maybe been updated.
It's a really good basic introduction to the history of anarchism, or the history of insurrection and revolt in general, well illustrated with woodcuts.
The chapters themselves are very general and basic, but are intended only as an introduction, and are excellent as pointers toward further reading and research.
The book begins with the Free spirit heretics of the Middle Ages, but it could've equally well begun with, say, Spartacus a ...more

An essential illustrated reference book for anyone into radical history. I need to check out the new edition of this one—so much has happened since Harper's first edition and he has some facts wrong. Still his bold, uncompromising spirit comes through in both his art and writing—yep, the dude loves anarchism. Check out Icky A's interview with the man in Realizing the Impossible: Art Against Authority.

The edition I've always seen has a different cover than the one shown here.
This book is a really super, accessible, easy to read history of different anarchist movements. It could easily be read by a junior high or high school student who thinks anarchy is all about getting wasted, smashing bottles, and engaging in fist fights. It could also be read by grandparents who think that anarchy is a pipe dream. This book could be helpful/useful to a wide variety of people.

Very good Introduction, brief outline of principals and ideology. Basic outline of the history or anarchist movements and their significance. I thought that this book was quite informative, a recommendation for anyone who has preconceived notions of what anarchism is but are unfamiliar with the historical aspects. I would say obtain a copy somehow, not necessary for your collection, but certainly worthy of checking out at the library.
