Summary: It's about time
Comment: This book gave me hope. Well thought out and logical. Great little histories.

A simple but subversive book. Americans need to wake up and smell the coffee and do something about the state of things. I never considered myself to be a radical until this year when it became apparent that Bush and Company were taking away everything that makes this country great piece by piece. Hopefully readers will understand that we actually have to take action to secure our rights and that action doesn't have much to do with bombing the rest of the world into submission.

Summary: Fast and inspiring read with great info
Comment: Cool inspiring mix-n-match minihistories show the history of American civil disobedience in the book's first half. Some of the stories are personal like the Act-Up activist who becomes a cop, and the college gal who goes undercover to spy on anti-abortion groups; some of them are basic like the Boston Tea Party, labor unions, and civil rights movement.

The second half is a really thorough How-To manual outlining how to organize a direct action and what to expect... getting arrested for political reasons is different than getting busted for something stupid. This book is really an essential tool for new activists.

It also contains the entire USA-Patriot Act which is really something to think about...

Altogether a great, cheap resource for people who are interested in getting involved and want to learn more.
