A landmark work in anarchist biography, Durruti: The People Armed chronicles the life of Buenaventura Durruti, one of the most iconic figures of the Spanish anarchist movement and the Spanish Civil War. Written by fellow anarchist and historian Abel Paz, the biography presents an intimate and deeply researched portrait of Durruti's transformation from militant worker to revolutionary leader, tracing his role in the CNT-FAI and his command of the legendary Durruti Column on the Aragonese front. Paz argues passionately that Durruti embodied the revolutionary spirit of the Spanish working class, illustrating how one man's uncompromising idealism galvanised hundreds of thousands to take up arms against fascism. Authoritative in its detail yet urgent in its tone, this work remains an essential document for understanding the radical politics and anarcho-syndicalist culture of early twentieth-century Spain.
