Martin Lux book

Has anyone read Martin Lux's book? I read a chapter on his myspace page, and it certainly pull ahem, 'no punches' - sorry I could resist that.. Read a bit of the opening and it looks pretty good stuff

I've read it. Pretty short, but entertaining.

Gotta love the Lux. Loved the chapter on his myspace site.

One message loud and clear: bash the fash, smash 'em.

Read it some days ago... Good book. Bit different and not that well written as No Retreat (and as non-English person had some problems with understanding slang used there..) but in general good. Also interesting was that in opposition to No Retreat it was showing anarchist approach in antifascist struggle. Hardcore action at the end....

If that was what you liked about it, have you read this:

No.

Its a nuts book by a nuts guy. I said 'good clean fun' in a sarky way, not 'good'.

Anyway i think history has finally closed the book on that chapter of British insurrectionism. Lets read their books, laugh a bit, maybe learn something, and move on.

It is a properly hilarious book and well worth a read if ypu gt the chance. The Crass gig is pure brilliance.

i find all this shit tedious as fuck, like the Bravo Two Zero of anarchist literature.

Looks interesting. Anyone got any ideas for getting a copy or two down this end of the world?

Edit - considering the fees for cash transfer would prob cost more than a couple of copies of the book.

not really worth it. I'm afraid i'm keeping mine as a (somewhat dubious) historical document, otherwise i'd mail it.
