of Emma Goldman, Kropotkin, and really any influential Anarchist thinker?

I haven't read it, but Kropotkin wrote an autobiography titled "Memoirs of a Revolutionist"

"Bakunin: The Creative Passion" by Mark Leier is the best biography on Bakunin. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Bakunin, but it's a damn fine book that really helps explain the background of the man, the atmosphere and settings he was born into and how that helped shape his ideas of anarchism. I recommend this book.

Got both Kropotkins and Emma's auto-bios day b4 yesterday. Also got Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist by Alexander Berkman. All are good so far. I would also recommend The Bolshevik Myth by Alexander Berkman, about his time in Russia, great read.
