Really short and lacks depth. But on the other hand the subject is quite narrow and should only interest a very small subset of people 150 years after the events, so to treat it at length would been a waste of Avrich's, the author's, time, which he, as a good historian, could put to better use in other areas of study. Not as apologetic for Bakunin as I would have thought going in.
It is ok. But as very short, lacking in deeper analysis and barely interesting subject I can only give it a three star rating. It is very short though and as the other reviewer said it can be read in about an hour.
