Ammon Hennacy
The Autobiography Of A Catholic Anarchist is a memoir written by Ammon Hennacy, a prominent American social activist and pacifist. The book chronicles Hennacy's life and his journey towards becoming a Catholic anarchist, a philosophy that advocates for the abolition of all forms of government and the establishment of a society based on voluntary cooperation and mutual aid.Hennacy was born in 1893 and grew up in a strict Mormon household in Utah. He later converted to Catholicism and became involved in various labor and anti-war movements. He was a conscientious objector during World War I and spent time in prison for his beliefs.Throughout his life, Hennacy remained committed to nonviolence and pacifism, and he was a vocal advocate for social justice and human rights. He also lived a simple, self-sufficient lifestyle, which he believed was necessary for achieving true freedom and autonomy.The Autobiography Of A Catholic Anarchist provides a fascinating insight into Hennacy's philosophy and his experiences as a social activist. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in anarchism, pacifism, and the history of social movements in the United States.Introduction By Dorothy Day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
