Alcoholics Anonymous Comes of Age: A Brief History of A. A.

Explains how a benevolent anarchy with no property, human laws, or leaders began and how it continues to survive - freeing millions without charge. Mind shattering.

A fascinating yet understated account of how something grows and takes hold. This particular account was of course written by the man who was pivotal to it all happening, which surely shapes it, but nonetheless one cannot help but be impressed. I read up to page 222, which is where other voices take over.
I am reminded of Dorothy Day and how she grew a movement. Her granddaughter's account feels quite different! I'm interested in reading this story from different angles as well.
