Rivoluzione e controrivoluzione [Revolution and Counter-Revolution: Manifesto of the militants and the Reunited Anarchist Groups of North America]. Brooklyn: Comitato dei Gruppi Riuniti Galilei Club, 1944.

The Galilei Club was another chosen name for an anarchist group, reflecting the independence of its namesake (whose last name the group used, rather than the more familiar first name, Galileo), as well as his battles with the religious authorities.

This pamphlet covers many topics, with chapters on the Vatican, Spain, fascism, the Fifth Column, bourgeois government and the social war. The cover features a graphic black and white woodcut on a light blue background of two hands in the clouds. One fights off another clawed hand (presumably the devil’s or some force of evil) holding a sharp, bloody dagger.
