Title: Very First Page Contains a Glaring Error. Rest isn't Much Better
Review: I'm sure the statement, as fact, that Emma Goldman "dismissed [Czolgosz] as a police informant" would come as a great surprise to Miss Goldman. Anyone who read her autobiography, living my life, or looked into the subject at all would know that it was her friend, the Mennonite anarchist Abraham Isaak, who published a warning about Czolgosz being a spy in his newspaper "Free Society." Goldman didn't really know Czolgosz (or even his real name), but she demanded Isaak publish a retraction as he had no proof of his allegation. She later blamed this kind of hostile treatment from the very Chicago anarchists she'd introduced Czolgosz to for driving him to "prove himself" through his attentat.If you want to know about Anarchism and the period, don't buy this book. Buy "Living My Life," or read it right here for free: [...]Frankly, that's what the author would have done if he'd cared about getting even the most basic facts correct.
