Trade Review
"A near-perfect selection of Jack London's radical writings. All of London's important political tracts are here." San Francisco Chronicle "This anthology makes a good argument for refreshing [Jack London's] relevance as a polemicist." Morning News "Insightful." Sonoma State Star "Resonates powerfully with our contemporary political culture... A must for London lovers, and people who really want to know about American politics-this book might even influence your vote." North Bay Bohemian "[Raskin] has assembled a near-perfect selection of London's radical writings. [He] captures the spirit and dynamics of London's life in ways that the majority of full-length London biographies do not." San Francisco Chronicle "A near-perfect selection of London's radical writings." San Francisco Chronicle
