{"product_id":"johann-most-tom-goyens-9780252089039","title":"Johann Most: Life of a Radical","description":"Known best for articulating the propaganda of the deed, Johann Most was and still is caricatured as a radical fanatic. Tom Goyens' in-depth biography rediscovers the complexities that animated the German American agitator and made him a pivotal figure in the development of anarchism in the US and socialism in Germany. Most galvanized workers through passionate speeches and writings that showcased his gifts as a performer, satirist, and rhetorician. Numerous challenges, including repeated convictions for his incendiary rhetoric, failed to curb his organizing or his efforts to foster a dedicated network of comrades that included Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, and his common-law wife, Helene Minkin. Goyens details Most's essential contributions to the anarchist movement while also highlighting his critique of religion and defense of science within emancipatory movements. As Goyens follows Most's ideological journey, he illuminates the political contexts that shaped the anarchist's evolving views on revolutionary action and social change. Comprehensive and long overdue, \u003ci\u003eJohann Most\u003c\/i\u003e traces the intellectual life and enduring relevance of a misunderstood radical figure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Goyens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252089030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252089039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.12w x 0.74d","brand":"Tom Goyens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47610930823423,"sku":"9780252089039","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f8aa554-be5d-4df7-aac0-349a98b583b4.jpg?v=1764510642","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/johann-most-tom-goyens-9780252089039","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
