The library listing for this said that it included an assessment of Germany's Green Party, but I didn't realise until I got it home that they meant the West German Green Party, circa 1984 :) The book collects articles that were published in the 'Our Generation' journal, mostly in the mid-eighties. J. Frank Harrison is good on the foibles of the Canadian state, though it's contemporaneous with the onset of neoliberalism and the creation of CSIS. Chomsky is, as usual, great at eviscerating the US state, and there's a couple of good essays on Emma Goldman. Something that brought a smile to my lips were the listings of other books by the same publisher at the back of the book, with favourable reviews from the Kingston Whig Standard and Ottawa Citizen. I can only assume this is pre-Postmedia, as I can't imagine such reviews today...
