Abstract

It was during the Second World War that Colin Ward came into contact with the anarchist movement and started his long lasting activity as an 'anarchist columnist'. From 1943, he became involved in the Freedom Press Group. This article will analyse his major contributions to War Commentary and then Freedom. It will examine the role that Ward played in the resurgence of anarchist journalism, from the late 1940s to the late 1960s, by investigating the relationship and the mutual influences between Ward and the other activists in Freedom Press. Ward's books addressed the world outside anarchism and used ordinary real world facts to discuss anarchist arguments. This article will analyse how these innovative characteristics developed in his journalism.
