While best known as the author of the phenomenally successful Joy Of Sex, medical biologist Alex Comfort has been a life-long anarchist and pacifist. From the early 1940s he was for a decade a prolific, combative and innovative writer on both subjects. This volume collects the articles he wrote for Freedom, as well as most of his other social and political essays, including Peace and Disobedience, the finest single statement of his highly individual and original anarchism. Includes an excellent, lengthy, contextual introduction from David Goodway.
