Summary: Need more stars
Review: The star system's clearly flawed,not being open ended.This is one of the most important books ever.Durutti was a metal worker who aspired to be an anarchist bookshop proprietor.He became a revolutionary,one of the greatest that ever lived and inspired millions with his words,deeds and fateful sacrifice at the peak of the spanish civil war.How much differance one persons life can make shines through in durruti's own words that quoted regularly through the text.While abels own prose may seem a little different to english lit.crits.being translated from spanish.Durruti speaks directly and forcefully to the reader,its impossible not to be affected as the extraordinary cinematic episodes of his life and words as they unfold.There are also periods of repression and pain that his wife and comrades such as ascaso and 'los solidarios' and 'the wanderers'help our herculean,selfless promeathean protaganist through.If you liked papillon and homage to catalonia and know of Makhno,you should love and return to this book for inspiration as much as I do.
