At times a trudge, but worth it

Much of the first part revolves around a recreated narrative of a Direct Action event, from the author's notes.

Later the book becomes a sort of analysis of these events, how they fit into the Anarchist culture, and how that culture fits into the Capitalist society around it.

All in all, a good introduction into what Anarchy and Direct Action are, how they work in theory and how the author has seen them work in practice.
