If you’ve been to many of the anarchist bookfairs in the UK you’ll probably recognise Peter Good: always a smile, always a bow tie, plus sweets (though I think one year it was home made wine?) for anyone who wanted to chat. Peter is the editor and printer of The Cunningham Amendment (named after forces slang for mixing everything behind the bar in a bucket). The final issue has arrived (vol.21, no.2 ‘Thursday 4th January 2024’) celebrating 50 years of publishing.

Defeat and Revival : Thoughts on The Weight of the Stars

From Bulletin of the Kate Sharpley Library
October 2023

In 2013 Barry Pateman wrote a piece about Ethel Mannin’s No More Mimosa, his contact with Spanish anarchist exiles and the contrast between the revolutionary situation they had been part of and the grim reality of defeat. ‘Exile meant the end of nearly everything they had known.

Unknown and Essential. Forgers and the Libertarian Underground

From Kate Sharpley Library

Greetings readers. Here we go again bringing you a range of information concerning the libertarian guerrilla war. First up today, an article about the Málaga-based “Los Pataletes” group. I have built up a fair amount of new information about them and intended to update my earlier entry. But the fact is that when I made to consult the “Andalusian Miscellany” of which it was part, I discovered that the articles published in Diagonal, can no longer be accessed on the net through that server. So I am going to reassess my plans and will try to redeem as much as I can and include them in my entries in El Salto. Given the significant amount of the new material, I shall try to post older entries and punctuate them with newer ones at the rate of at least two per month.
