La Bande a Bonnot (A6)
Originally published in the 1960's, and out of print for a decade or so, this fascinating pamphlet provides a short history of the Bonnot Gang, what they did, and how they were regarded by the wider public, and it also includes a trial statement from one of the gang.

Bonnot himself was gunned down by French police in April 1912, and was mourned by large sections of the anarchist left in France, Europe and beyond...
