Autorenporträt
Farquhar McHarg (1900–1978) was born in Glasgow, but a trip to Barcelona in 1918 landed him as a teenager in the middle of a web of espionage and anarcho-syndicalist uprisings. It launched him into the life of an anarchist revolutionary, playing a key role in the Spanish Civil War and the following decades of struggle to overthrow Franco then Salazar, and joining the underworld in multiple continents as he worked to foment revolution across the world. The blaze of 1968 found him an old man, but still fighting to achieve a better world.
