The Bonnot Gang

Description

This is the story of the infamous Bonnot Gang: the most notorious French anarchists ever, and as bank expropriators the inventors of the motorised 'getaway'. It is the story of how the anarchist taste for illegality developed into illegalism – the theory that theft is liberating in itself. And how a number of young anarchists met in Paris in the years before the First World War, determined to live their lives to the full, regardless of the consequences. Extensively researched and fully illustrated with rare period photos, drawings, and maps.
