Deported from the USA alongside his partner, Emma Goldman, under the 1918 Anarchist Exclusion Act, Berkman offers an eye-opening account of his experiences from 1920 to 1922. Presented in diary format, the narrative captures his initial fervor for the revolution, which soon gives way to profound disillusionment as he witnesses the Bolsheviks oppressive measures against political dissent.
