Two documentaries on anarchist activism (and trials) in the seventies and eighties are now available from ChristieBooks. Both were made by Gordon Carr, the first was the basis of his book on the Angry Brigade. Contains archive footage of events varying from Miguel Garcia to an early Crass gig! With introductions by Stuart Christie

The Angry Brigade (1974 – Gordon Carr)
BETWEEN 1970 AND 1972 the Angry Brigade used guns and bombs in a series of symbolic attacks against property. A series of communiqués accompanied the actions, explaining the choice of targets and the Angry Brigade philosophy: autonomous organisation and attacks on property alongside other forms of militant working class action. Targets included the embassies of repressive regimes, police stations and army barracks, boutiques and factories, government departments and the homes of Cabinet ministers, the Attorney General and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. These attacks on the homes of senior political figures increased the pressure for results and brought an avalanche of police raids. From the start the police were faced with the difficulty of getting to grips with a section of society they found totally alien. And were they facing an organisation — or an idea? Gordon Carr’s film explores covers the roots of the Angry Brigade in the revolutionary ferment of the 1960s and the anarchist First of May Group, and follows their campaign and the police investigation to its culmination in the ‘Stoke Newington 8’ conspiracy trial at the Old Bailey — the longest criminal trial in British legal history. It remains the essential study of Britain’s first urban guerrilla group.

Persons Unknown (1980 – Gordon Carr)
Documentary by Gordon Carr on the so-called ‘Persons Unknown’ case in December 1979 in which members of the Anarchist Black Cross were tried at the Old Bailey on a charge of ‘conspiring with persons unknown, at places unknown to cause explosions

Stuart Christie was released from a Spanish prison in September 1967, having served over three years of a 20-year sentence for his part in an anarchist plot to assassinate General Franco, the last of the Axis dictators. He came back to a world of social and industrial turbulence, growing anger at America’s war in Vietnam, dissatisfaction with parliamentary government and political parties, and fermenting ideas about justice, direct democracy and extra-parliamentary organisation. It was a time when revolutionary change seemed both morally imperative and achievable.
This third volume of Christie’s memoirs provides the historical and political context for the international anti-Franco resistance of the anarchist ‘First of May Group’, from 1967 to the dictator’s death in 1975. It is a firsthand account — by someone accused but acquitted — of the campaign of anti-state and anti-capitalist bombings by diverse groups of libertarian militants who came together as the ‘Angry Brigade’ to challenge the aggressively anti-working class policies of the Tory government of Edward Heath. The coming to power of Edward Heath’s government in 1971 redefined the limits of protest. Opponents of government were ignored or criminalised, hard won employment rights and social reforms were rolled back, and so was democracy itself. To challenge government became life
threatening, as radicals across Europe and America were to discover (Benno Ohensorg, Thomas Weissbecker, Georg von Rauch, Rudi Dutschke, Giuseppe Pinelli, the six anti-Vietnam war protestors at Kent and Jackson State universities). The emergence of the Angry Brigade was one of the more dramatic responses of the time to Tory reaction, the legitimisation of greed and creeping Napoleonic government.
The Angry Brigade’s audacious actions were not part of a strategy of regime-change, they were intended to emphasise and reflect the extent and depth of working-class opposition to Heath’s regime, and the callous values it was imposing on the people of Britain. They were signals that lines were being drawn, and that at least one small section of society was angry about what was happening in the world in their name, and was prepared to do something about it.
Edward Heath Made Me Angry provides an overview of a unique period in modern British history — the ‘angry decade’ from 1966 to 1975. A time when it became apparent to many that politics was an equivocal and amoral game whose only winners were those with little — if any — integrity, no recognisable moral compass or sense of principle; glib talkers with light fingers and cold hearts whose sole aim was the acquisition and retention of power. It is an account of the events which shaped Christie’s understanding of the world, and a reminder of a revolutionary and idealistic yesteryear that offers a treasure-trove of potentially useful experience and insights to recurring generations of new youth seeking a better world, or at least ameliorating the present one

On the last day of July 1964 Stuart Christie, a newly-turned 18-year-old Glaswegian anarchist, left London for Paris and Madrid on a mission whose objective was to kill the last of the Axis dictators — General Francisco Franco. This was to be the last of at least 30 attempts on the fascist dictator’s life. This first volume of ‘The Christie File’ takes us through the interesting historical and cultural strands, and radical political influences that led this teenager from a Presbyterian West of Scotland background to a summary drumhead court-martial in Madrid and possible execution by garrote-vil, just six weeks after his 18th birthday. As Stuart muses to himself during the ‘Council of War’ trying him : ‘How, in the name of the “wee man”, had I ended up here ?'”

The ANGRY BRIGADE
BETWEEN 1970 AND 1972 the Angry Brigade used guns and bombs in a series of symbolic attacks against property. A series of communiques accompanied the actions, explaining the choice of targets and the Angry Brigade philosophy: autonomous organisation and attacks on property alongside other forms of militant working class action. Targets included the embassies of repressive regimes, police stations and army barracks, boutiques and factories, government departments and the homes of Cabinet ministers, the Attorney General and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
These attacks on the homes of senior political figures increased the pressure for results and brought an avalanche of police raids. From the start the police were faced with the difficulty of getting to grips with a section of society they found totally alien. And were they facing an organisation – or an idea? This book covers the roots of the Angry Brigade in the revolutionary ferment of the 1960s, and follows their campaign and the police investigation to its culmination in the ‘Stoke Newington 8’ conspiracy trial at the Old Bailey – the longest criminal trial in British legal history.
Gordon Carr produced the BBC documentary on the Angry Brigade and followed it up with this book. Written after extensive research – among both the libertarian opposition and the police – it remains the essential study of Britain’s first urban guerrilla group. This expanded edition contains a comprehensive chronology of the ‘Angry Decade’, extra illustrations and a police view of the Angry Brigade. Introductions by Stuart Christie and John Barker (two of the ‘Stoke Newington 8’ defendants) discuss the Angry Brigade in the political and social context of its times – and its longer-term significance

Towards A Citizens’ Militia
The legendary anarchist (as opposed to most guerrilla warfare manuals written by military, or authoritarian types) how-to guide to irregular warfare. Towards A Citizens’ Militia details the principles of libertarian armed resistance, organization, and conduct of guerrilla warfare (from train traps to attacking a power system) and the organization and operation of the civilian resistance movement.
(From jacket cover – 1980)
The thought of war and oppression is unpleasant to decent people the world over, both East and West. Yet, if you want to survive the worst with dignity then you must be least imagine the very worst, and try to think how you would act. The government knows this only too well. This year (1980) they will spend £10,500,000,000 of our money to prevent the country falling to the enemy, without and within. But what happens if they’ve got it all wrong!
Suppose the Russians or heaven forbid! a cabal of army and police officers took power tomorrow at 4.00 a.m.? Having lived for centuries in a society rooted in obedience to authority we can assume that by midday there would be people clapping them in the streets …. by three we’d have citizens loading other citizens on to three ton lorries … on the nine o’clock news there’d be a well known personality oozing assurances that it is all for the best and it is our constitutional duty to accept the new order … and by 10.30 the following morning we’d have respected members of the bench setting the seal of legality on the authority of the new regime and packing the opposition off to the uranium mines in Orkney, or to Wembley Stadium to await whatever authoritarian delights lay in store for them.
However, if you are one of those people who feel it your civil duty to defend whatever freedom you feel you have, and haven’t bet your all on IBM, the KGB or any other power obsessed minor —ity, then it is your responsibility to be aware of the many ways bad people can be harmful when angry, acquisitive, or generally out of sorts. You, of course, are one of the Great Pumpkin’s loftiest creations, so we are safe in putting this book in your hands. We hope you’ll never need the information contained here, but it is your inalienable right to share with your enemies the knowledge of this useful publication

Adventures in Bukhara
Adventures in Bukhara are tales told with irreverent wit and earthy wisdom. Tyranny is its villain; liberty its hero. Like Robin Hood, Khoja Nasreddin is the champion of the poor and downtrodden who cannot champion themselves. There is no danger he will not brave, no disaster he cannot avert, no villain he cannot bring to ridicule or destruction.
These zestful tales are set in ancient Bukhara, then a great center of Islamic power. Nasreddin, masquerading as a beggar, returns taxes to the oppressed, rescues a lovely maiden from the Emir’s harem, and with ingenuity confounds usurers, hypocrites and all tyrants. He outwits his enemies even at his own scheduled execution.
The Nasreddin stories are known throughout the Middle East and have touched cultures around the world. Superficially, most of the Nasreddin stories may be told as jokes or humorous anecdotes. They are told and retold endlessly in the teahouses and caravanserais of Asia and can be heard in homes and on the radio. But it is inherent in a Nasreddin story that it may be understood at many levels. There is the joke, followed by a moral – and usually the little extra which brings the consciousness of the potential mystic a little further on the way to realization.
The anecdotes attributed to him reveal a satirical personality with a biting tongue that he was not afraid to use even against the most tyrannical rulers of his time. He is the symbol of Middle-Eastern satirical comedy and the rebellious feelings of people against the dynasties that once ruled this part of the world.
Some mystic traditions use jokes, stories and poetry to express certain ideas, allowing the bypassing of the normal discriminative thought patterns. The rationality that confines and objectifies the thinking process is the opposite to the intuitive, gestalt mentality that the mystic is attempting to engage, enter and retain.
By developing a series of impacts that reinforce certain key ideas, the rational mind is occupied with a surface meaning whilst other concepts are introduced. Thus paradox, unexpectedness, and alternatives to convention are all expressed. Although there are several books that attempt to put together the many jokes attributed to him, most people encounter his jokes in the context of their daily lives. Often, a Nasreddin joke is told by one party when the other party makes the kind of mistake that Nasreddin had parodied.
Some tales of Nasreddin are also adapted and used as teaching stories by followers of Sufism. This is such a common practice that, given the nature of many of Nasreddin’s jokes, multiple interpretations (or several ‘layers’ of meaning) are to be expected. Idries Shah, a well-known Sufi and writer, published a number of collections of Nasreddin stories (see list below), and suggested that the stories’ various layers of meaning have a teaching-effect.
In some Bulgarian folklore tales that originated during the Ottoman, the name appears as an antagonist to a local wise man, named Hitar Petar (????? ?????, meaning “cunning Peter”). In Sicily the same tales involve a man named Giufà. While Nasreddin is mostly known as a character from anecdotes, whole novels and stories have later been written and an animated feature film was almost made

The Great Game
The battle for control over Central Asia and the Near and Middle East was fierce and bloody. Sometimes it was conducted in secret, sometimes it was public; sometimes it created a great stir, at other times no one noticed it. It was fought through the nineteenth century by the foreign ministries of Great Britain and Russia and the armed forces of the East India Company and then the British Empire on the one hand, and sections of the Russian army commanded from Tiflis, Orenburg and Tashkent on the other, together with mobile and highly qualified spies on both sides who posed as scholars, travellers, merchants and clerics. The story of this battle is told in thousands of newspaper articles, hundreds of books, and hundreds of thousands of secret reports penned by the actors in this great drama, which was played out in the course of a century in lifeless deserts and mountain ranges whose peaks were sometimes over three and a half miles high. This Russian account of The Great Game from the Russian perspective takes the form of a chapter by chapter review of Peter Hopkirk’s excellent study ‘The Great Game’ by Professor Gregory Bondarevsky, a Soviet academician who played an important part in defining post-war Soviet policy in Central Asia and the Middle East.
This book is not only a secret service history, or to be more accurate a history of the struggle between the secret services of two great powers in the nineteenth century; it is also an entertaining account of the geographical discovery of unknown and sometimes forgotten countries in Central Asia, which was then a very mysterious place

The Floodgates of Anarchy
We have three good reasons for reissuing this book. First, it was written in the aftermath of the heady events of 1967 and 1968, so that in some sense it completes its third decade of existence this year. If nothing else it is a witness to its time-indeed the dated or obscure references in the text are proof of just that!
Also, Albert is no longer with us in person, and that is sad. A meeting with Albert was a true encounter. He always gave cheer. His obstinacy was never more than caution. His ever-present dedication, common sense, erudition, seriousness and wit were a delight. Luckily for us, they spring from every page of this book, even those that did not come principally from his typewriter.
Lastly, there still remain hardly any books on the subject of anarchism in relation to the class struggle. Yet with very few exceptions every human being born must fight for survival and dignity from the moment they first draw breath-or someone must do it for them. Even the fortunate few are affected by the plight of the dispossessed masses, living as they do behind the thick skins and the high walls that they need to safeguard their privileges. Since this book was written, those skins may or may not have got thicker, those walls higher. For sure, though, the gap between rich and poor has widened noticeably everywhere. If the ground that has been so lost is ever to be regained, it will only be so when the poor fight back. This book is, we hope, part of that fight.
“What causes war is the meekness of the many,” the authors write. Just so. It is the cause, too, of every disaster that befalls the many who are dispossessed. And what causes that meekness is largely the failure of those many to recognise the force within themselves that is the potential to combine to win a better world-by opening “the floodgates of anarchy”.

Secrets and Bombs
At 4.37 p.m. on 12 December 1969 — the day that Greece (under the Colonels’ Junta) was expelled from the Council of Europe — a powerful explosion ripped through the main hall of the Banca de Agricoltura in Milan’s Piazza Fontana. Sixteen people were killed and a further 88 innocent bystanders were seriously injured. Within minutes of the explosion the police and Interior Ministry had laid responsibility for the outrage at the door of the anarchists, and over the next few days over 150 of them were brought in for questioning by Inspector Luigi Calabresi, acting head of the Milan political police squad. One of these anarchists, Giuseppe Pinelli, was thrown from Calabresi’s fourth floor office window to his death in the yard below, or perhaps he was dead prior to the fall. Pinelli’s death became a national scandal and it quickly became clear that the anarchists were innocent. The bombing (along with many others, before, contemporaneously and subsequently), had in fact been carried out by fascists acting as agents of the Italian Secret Service, Federico Umberto D’Amato’s Bureau of Confidential Affairs (Interior Ministry) and by the shadowy NATO-US-backed ‘Gladio’ ‘stay-behind’ resistance organization, recruited from among the ranks of hand-chosen extreme right-wingers and neo-fascists. The objective of this ‘strategy of tension” was to ensure that leftists and Communists could not come to power in Italy by creating a psychosis of fear of the left among ordinary Italians and a desire for strong, authoritarian government. This is the story of an extraordinary chapter in Italy’s history and the still unanswered questions surrounding the massacre of the Piazza Fontana on that cold day in December, 1969

To the Honourable Miss S … and other stories by Ret Marut a.k.a. B. Traven
Translator’s Notes
Ret Marut made his debut as a writer in 1912, in the pages of the Düsseldorfer Zeitung. A further ten of his stories appeared in provincial newspapers in the following two years. None of these early stories appears in this collection.
Of the stories translated here into English, ‘Mother Beleke’ was first published in the Leipzig-based magazine Reclams Universum, in July 1915. (An abbreviated version appeared the following year in an anthology of war stories from the same publisher.) ‘The Unknown Soldier’ and ‘In the Fog’ appeared in 1915 and 1916 respectively in the weekly magazine März (Berlin/Munich). Reclams Universum accepted ‘The Silk Scarf’ in 1917, while ‘The Story of a Nun’ was published in Westermanns Monalshefte of Brunswick in 1918.
To the Honourable Miss S… appeared as a separate volume in 1916. The publisher was given as Irene Mermet, who was Marut’s companion during his years in Munich. The remaining stories were not published until 1919, when Marut brought out a collection of satirical pieces under the title The BLue-Speckled SparroW. Burlesques, Sketches, and Tales, Published by the Ziegelbrenner. Included here, along with the title story, ‘The BLue-Speckled SParroW’, are ‘Originality’, ‘The Art of the Painter’, ‘A Writer of Serpentine Shrewdness’, ‘My Visit to the Writer Pguwlkschrj Rnfajbzxlquy’, ‘Titles’, ‘The Kind of Thing That Can Happen in France’, ‘Deceivers’, and ‘The Actor and the King’.

Here are fifteen stories by the author who later became famous under the name of B. Traven, written during the years when he was an itinerant actor and journalist in Germany before and during World War I. Most of these stories first appeared when Ret Marut was editing an obstreperous anti-war newspaper, Der Ziegelbrenner (The Brickburner), in Munich. They foreshadow many of the themes and philosophy which characterise such great works as The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Death Ship, The White Rose, The Bridge in the Jungle, and other novels and stories Traven wrote later in Mexico.
This collection includes such tales as The Story of a Nun,” in which a doctor marries a doomed woman whom he first meets as a ghost, and “The Silk Scarf,” a simple story with an acidulous ending. Other stories deal with such subjects as pretension, fashion, greed, exploitation, and the price of success, all themes that Traven further developed in his subsequent work. The title story, “To the Honourable Miss S…,” is a romantic love story told against the backdrop of trench warfare in World War I. The vivid realism of the war scenes id reminiscent of Enrich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front.
“Fifteen brightly scornful short stories, circa 1915-19, by a youthful German author who went on to become famous as the mysterious ‘B. Traven’… there is intruguing, lively work here…
— Kirkus Reports
“… this extraordinary collection projects an outspoken, original voice finding its full range.”

Three Flags
BORIS VIAN has been called a ‘legend in his own lifetime’. A novelist, poet, playwright, singer, composer of more than 300 songs, kazz trumpeter, translator, and engineer, his reputation in France grows steadily. He died in 1959, at the age of 38, of a heart attack.

THE EMPIRE BUILDERS
Originally published as Les Bâtisseurs d’Empire by the Collège de ‘Pataphysique in their Dossier 6, Paris, 1959. Second edition by L’Arche, “Collection du Repertoire du T.N.P.”, Paris, 1959. Third edition in Boris Vian’s Théâtre published by Editions Jean-Jacques Pauvert, Paris, copyright ©1965 by Jean-Jacques Pauvert.
An eminently respectable bourgeois family of father, mother, daughter, and their maid, flee, within the confines of their own home, from a strange, unknown, and terrifying Noise which pursues them as they move upward from floor to floor until they reach the attic. In each room they are confronted by the schmürz, a torn, tattered monster, who suffers in ghostly silence as the family casually beats, whips, and lacerates him. Yet the schmürz always awaits them, and the schmürz never dies. In a procession of mounting horror and the darkest comedy, the family is reduced to nothing and the curtain falls on one of the most terrible scenes in modern theatre.

THE GENERALS’ TEA PARTY
Originally published as Le Goûter des généraux by the Collège de ‘Pataphysique in their Dossier 18-19, Paris, 1962. Second edition in Boris Vian’s Théâtre published by Editions Jean-Jacques Pauvert, Paris, copyright ©1965 by Jean-Jacques Pauvert.
“War, that grotesque obscenity” is the subject of The Generals’ Tea Party. In an atmosphere of farce, burlesque and high camp, four generals, the prime minister, and the archbishop of France, with military delegates from the USSR and China plot and begin a war to re-establish the imbalance of the economy so that the nation will prosper — all of which ends in a mad game of Russian Roulette.
“…the piece is brilliant, quite brilliant. From beginning to end, withour faltering, the contention is that prime ministers and generals are like fractious children. They squabble, they argue, they invent jokes and riddles which seem to them the very height of wit but which are, of course, incredibly juvenile and bad; and the author’s perfect consciousness of this puerility and badness makes it intellectually satisfying and funny… we become aware that underneath the surface fatuity of these generals, in their infant locutions, they talk a good deal of sense. They are silly themselves, but at least they are aware that war is sillier.” Harold Hobson, Sunday Times

THE KNACKER’S ABC
Originally published as L’Equarrissage pour tous by Editions Toutain, Paris, 1950. Second edition in Boris Vian’s Théâtre published by Editions Jean-Jacques Pauvert, Paris, copyright ©1965 by Jean-Jacques Pauvert.
In this play, the horrors of world catastrophe are presented with what Cocteau called “an exquisite insolence”. The Knacker’s ABC, a paramilitary vaudeville, takes place on June 6, 1944, during the landing of Anglo-American forces at Arromanches. In the midst of complete chaos, the sole concern of the horse knacker and his family is the problem of their daughter’s marriage to a German soldier who has been billeted in their house. The grimness, cruelty, and idiocy of our contemporary world is thoroughly exposed by Vian’s deft use of the absurd.
“…the concept of fighting war by means of war, as some choose to do, seems to be quite intolerable, and there remains, alas, only a limited choice of alternative methods… The play is above all a burlesque: it seemed to me that the best approach to war was to laugh at its expense, a craftier but more effective way of fighting it…”

Stefano Delle Chiaie
The career of Stefano Delle Chiaie spans two continents and two decades. The history of Delle Chiaie is the history of nazism in our world today. Through it we see neo-fascist terrorist organisations in their true role: agents of an inner, oligarchic power sphere which sets itself above all law and morality.
On 2 August 1980 a bomb hidden in a suitcase exploded at Bologna railway station in Italy, claiming the lives of 85 innocent people and injuring over 200. The outrage at Bologna was just one more episode in what has become known as the ‘Strategy of Tension’ – a campaign of terror, infiltration, provocation murder (including that of anarchist Giuseppe Pinelli) that stretches back to the beginning of the 1960s and has its roots in the Cold War. But what exactly are the aims of this seemingly senseless campaign, and who are the people behind it?
Of the five people named as suspects by the Italian judge investigating the outrage at Bologna, one stands out from all the rest: Stefano Delle Chiaie. Master organiser of neo-fascist terror, or someone who has been deliberately set up as such by other more shadowy figures, the name of Delle Chiaie is inextricably linked with just about every major right-wing scandal and terrorist outrage to have rocked Italy during the past two decades. The history of Delle Chiaie is the history of Nazism in our world today. Through it we see neo-fascist terrorist organisations in their true role: that of “plausibly deniable” agents of an inner oligarchic power sphere which sets itself above all law and morality
