This book is a strong retort to disillusionment and nihilism. By giving up on the "total victory" which we all secretly knew wasn't going to happen, the author is opening the door to so many possibilities that anarchists must try to figure out in coming times.

At first this book depressed me, but now that I've accepted its conclusions I'm actually energized by it.

This book is thankfully out of print as it presents an absurd fantasy vision of Iraq that ignores and mystifies the grim realities of Islamist terror and civil war. This book spoke of events that were, in the view of the authors and translator, "at the same time promising and terrible." In my view these events are and were only the latter.

Despite the disappointing content, the book is beautifully printed. It also contains one of my favorite line of the last few years: "Freedom needs the show more storm, but in the storm it is difficult to maintain the sense of the life for which we fight." It should be clear to everyone by now that freedom isn't waiting on the other side of the storm in Iraq, regardless of which side is the victor. show less

All the best theory comes in zines.
