"My Further Disillusionment" contains the last twelve chapters of Goldman's manuscript for "My Disillusionment in Russia" that had not been turned over by the newspaper syndicate from whom Doubleday bought the rights to the book. Goldman, a committed anarchist rather than a statist Communist, was appalled by Bolshevik Russia. "It is not so much the Bolsheviki who killed the Russian Revolution as the Bolshevik idea. It was Marxism, however modified; in short, fanatical governmentalism." [pp. 157-158]. (Inventory #: 95189)
