September 07, 2009: I thought the book did an excellent job of, putting into words, the degradation of today's American, as well as other nation's, political systems and the general break-down of the family, morals, and integrity of society. They did however, and like so much of the modern progressive, extreme left wing socialists, have no real suggestions as to what to do about it, other than completely destroy it and go to some type of anarchist commune situation. The book suggests anarchy, destruction,violence, sabotage,lawlessness and moral abandonment as a means to a better society. Good luck with that one! It's a good book to explain, in detail, the folly of the progressive, socialist anarchists of today.

Barnes and Noble made their contribution to the promotional campaign only after fending off an attempt by New York City anarchists to stage an unofficial book release.

Consequently, before The Coming Insurrection was even released, right and left wing scrutiny had created an international platform for its authors to speak from. Is this, then the manifesto for the 21st century that the left has been waiting for?

Written in the aftermath of the 2005 riots in France by an anonymous group calling themselves The Invisible Committee, this book immediately caught the attention of French authorities. It is "the principle piece of evidence in an anti-terrorism case in France directed against nine individuals who were arrested on November 11, 2008" for the sabotage of electrical lines on France's railways. This mysterious act followed a mass strike carried out by French railway workers which crippled the country's transportation system. Whether or not this book is connected to the sabotage it offers a thought provoking analysis of the current cultural and political climate...
