Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"This is an important book. Well-told, diligently researched and splendidly written, Khan maintains his Left and anarchist perspective throughout, yet never does the narrative falter into rhetoric and hyperbole. The history told in The Republic Shall be Kept Clean needs no hyperbole to emphasize the savagery of those who founded, expanded, and rule it." --Counterpunch
