Publisher's Synopsis
Sam Dolgoff, a house painter by trade, was at the centre of American anarchism for 70 years. Working from the age of 8, by the 1920s he was tireless campaigner for the IWW. He went on to become the author of numerous books, pamphlets and articles on anarchist theory, history, and the issues of the day. He remained active in radical New York City politics right up until his death in 1990. His story, told with passion and humour by his son, conjures images of a lost New York City and the blurred lines dividing proletarian and intellectual culture.
