I've been scanning a bunch of old Anarchist newspapers from Belfast through the 80's and can send you a pdf if ya like. It won't be very well formatted though.
(I'm planning on tidying things up an bit, getting someone to write an intro to the group / newspaper / write a bit of context and then put it all online.)
Reading a history book by an author with a specific political agenda will leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Even if you agree with the author, surely you're looking for facts, not opinions?
Sure, why not read a history of Stalin by an economist?
There's arguably no such thing as a historian without a specific political agenda; in fact, most historians who would claim such a position may be unconscious or unaware of what side they're taking, and even providing a balanced viewpoint involves an awareness of both sides' perspectives, which their personal proclivities would be unwittingly influenced by. At least when you read an ideologically-based historical treatment, you know where they're situating themselves.
A history of Stalin by an economist; which economist? A neo-liberal economist, a socialist economist, a government economist? Marx, whose politics Stalin's were based on, was an economist?

W.- Do you have a link for that Attack International article?
I agree, history is nothing without interpretation, but reading someone else's interpretation of history is like reading music reviews. Unless you're happy with being told what to think.Yeh, but for political creatures the job is not just to document history but to interpret it
So... the IRB wants to become the government of the future Irish free state and, together with a socialist trade union, stages an uprising against the British.An example would be the series of articles wsm produced around 1916 which were properly researched but also critically analyse the events from an anarchist perspective. Like so - http://www.wsm.ie/story/702 (no namedropper, proper example)

Here, I figured out what I;ve been trying to say. 'You've got to reads all sorts of shit.'
YES!
I'd be more on derrida's side of the fence.
R.A. did have some links with the IRSP/INLA
