A review by savaging
Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities by Rebecca Solnit

5.0

This book was written after the massive peace marches across the world tried to stop the US and Britain from going to war in Iraq. And then the US and Britain went to war in Iraq.

Out of this disappointment, frustration, and hopelessness, Solnit writes about the winding, beautiful, indirect consequences of direct action. She takes away our precious sense of purity, and leaves us with reasons to get back to work.

This book is as important now as ever.
