Reviews

[Dan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read this book. Perhaps the best autobiography I've ever read as it is uncompromisingly honest and political. Albert delves into difficult and fascinating territories: Sixties militancy, organizing and activism on the New Left, experimenting and living new economic arrangements, being a feminist man in relationships, and much more.

This book is a virtuoso demonstration of how radicals can be pragmatic, common sensical, straightforward, practical, insightful, and successful. You won't find anything else like it. Michael Albert proves he is one of the best thinkers/activists/visionaries alive anywhere in the world today.

Perhaps it was the time in my life when i read it, and it certainly has to do with my political leanings: but i found michael albert's autobiography extremely compelling. in fact, i stayed up late into the night reading it, and i can't say that about too many books recently.
