This pocket-sized book begins with the essay "A Great Thinker or A Man of action: How Did Bakunin Shape Anarchism in the 19th Century?" by Vyvian Raoul and is followed by the unfinished and posthumously published "God and the State". The work criticises Christianity and the then-burgeoning technocracy movement from a materialist, anarchist and individualist perspective. It has gone on to become Bakunin's most widely read and praised work.
