Summary:

Prince Peter Kropotkin is generally acknowledged to be the most interesting, seminal, and readable of the great anarchist philosophers and writers. He was born in Moscow, a scion of the princes of Kiev. He was chosen by Nicholas I for the Corps of Pages, from whose academy he was graduated first in his class. This biography traces his career in the military in Russia, and how he opted for an assignment in Siberia which led to developing his skill as an explorer, geologist, and geographer. As a result of his travels he saw the failings of the current governmental system: the corruption and inefficiacy, which led to his anarchist writings and activity.
