Stuart Christies anarchist activities and brushes with the law make the Sex Pistols look like choir boys.Sunday ExpressA fascinating personal account . . . a remarkable picture of the late twentieth century, seen through sensitive eyes and interpreted by a compassionate, searching soul.Noam ChomskyIn 1964, a freshfaced, eighteenyearold Glaswegian named Stuart Christie became the most famous anarchist in Britain. He was arrested delivering dynamite to Madrid to be used in the assassination of Spanish dictator General Franco. After serving three of his twentyyear sentence, he was released, due to international pressure from supporters like Bertrand Russell and Jean Paul Sartre. Eight years later, he was arrested again in England on suspicion of membership in the Angry Brigadean armed group hellbent on overthrowing the governmentbut was this time acquitted. Christies warm and witty memoir, from the tough streets of postWorld War II Glasgow to the heady ideals of the Generation of 68, reads like a cloakanddagger political thriller.Granny Made Me an Anarchist chronicles clandestine political maneuverings, life behind bars, and flirtations with radical youth who were convinced the government could be toppled and their country made anew. Avoiding the selfcentered trappings of many 1960s memoirs, Christies lamentations shine light into the darkness and illuminate the human soul.Stuart Christie was a founder of the Anarchist Black Cross, Black Flag magazine, and Cienfuegos Press. He has written numerous books on Left and anarchist history.
