Dave Van Deusen includes practical information on hands-on organizing of anarchist and black bloc actions, and he discusses labor organizing, community organizing, along with journalistic accounts of various social movements/events.

The protest and political actions Van Deusen illustrates are undergirded by philosophical considerations which he presents in separate essays, with references to Bakunin, Marx, Guy Debord and other thinkers. He also shows how, in the aftermath of 9/11, the movement's momentum post-Seattle dissipated for a time.

The book not only provides a critical (non-sectarian) analysis of the last two decades of politics and movement building from the point of view, but also a window into what it was like to be inside those movements as a participant. In these ways the work has both contemporary political value and a historical value.
