I realized, to my considerable chagrin, that I hadn't read anything explicitly anarchist for far too long, and this seemed like a good place to get back into it. It's a pretty short book -- maybe 120 pages as a paperback -- and skates pretty quickly over the history of anarchism, spending more time talking about the street actions in Seattle and the lessons that can be learned for modern anarchist organizing. I'd say it serves better to (re)awaken enthusiasm, while providing pointers to further reading.
