Militant and sometimes violent, anarchists were heroes to many working-class immigrants. But to many others, anarchism was a terrifyingly foreign ideology. Determined to crush it, government officials launched a decades-long \"war on anarchy,\" a brutal program of spying, censorship, and deportation that set the foundations of the modern surveillance state. The lawyers who came to the anarchists' defense advanced groundbreaking arguments for free speech and due process, inspiring the emergence of the civil liberties movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Anarchy \u003c\/i\u003etells the gripping tale of the anarchists, their allies, and their enemies, showing how their battles over freedom and power still shape our public life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Willrich\u003c\/b\u003e is the Leff Families Professor of History at Brandeis University and a 2015 Guggenheim Fellow.
