A friend of mine recommended this book. I'm into poli-sci and love the classics, so I went ahead and picked it up, and I must say I really enjoyed it. The author touches on a number of topics all written from an anarchist's perspective, and many of the topics are still timely like prison reform, political violence, race relations and minorities, women's rights, patriotism, and socialism just to name a few. She does an excellent job of presenting her ideas, which she does very matter-of-factly and most eloquently. If you are interested in political philosophy, I believe you will really enjoy this classic on anarchism. It's one of the few political ideologies that puts its trust in the people, and that alone makes it a strange and rare (and refreshing) thing.

In these days of big government...

I recommend this book to anyone interested in getting acquainted with anarchism. I think it's the perfect primer, because it covers a lot of ground. She has some very good ideas and makes a lot of great points. I also think the section on American politics is really interesting.

In these days of big government, I think anarchist philosophy is more intriguing than ever. Even governments set up to be small and unobtrusive always end up stepping far outside their bounds and causing more harm than good. Such is the nature of the beast. People will insist that we need government to protect us and our property, but seriously, more people have been robbed, oppressed, and killed by governments than anything else. Just something to think about... and this book will make you think.

She tells some good stories about real people involved in the anarchist movement back in the day. They suffered many of the same trials that modern anarchists do, and it really brings what she's saying home.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about anarchism. It's too bad that the word "anarchy" has come to be associated with "chaos", because they are not the same thing at all. People are much more civilized when they are not "just following orders". Read this book to find out what anarchism is really all about.

good stories about real people
