On Fire: The Battle Of Genoa And The Anti-Capitalist Movement
Eyewitness accounts and analysis from the militant sections of the anti-G8 demonstrations in Genoa in July 2001. There are some big names here (Negri and Hardt, Starhawk, Massimo de Angelis), but its the eyewitness reportage and unsparing dissection of those events from the anonymous heroes which make this such an engaging, thought-provoking, and inspiring document...not to mention a vital piece of our history.
"This collection of articles offers a unique insight into the ideas and actions behind the confrontational approach of these militants. We are not victims, we are not sheep, we all have the ability to be active participants in our own destinies."

The book is quite self-critical with whatever critiques I may have felt. There's a varied recollection of the experiences felt in the anti-G8 march of 2001.
An important piece of contemporary historiography nonetheless.
