Has a copy to sell/swap — Read in December, 2007
This is the kind of book that I got a lot out of, but would also want to recommend to unsuspecting strangers -- which is very rare for me with anarchist writing.

This book goes heavy on the crimethinc-style irony, which I never fail to enjoy. One of the themes that I appreciated was the exploration of the "half revolution" while talking about sectarianism, tourism, and especially adultery. I thought the concept was delivered and framed very successfully. What's more, the adultury c...more

The latest novel from the anarchist collective people love to hate and hate to love shows a lot of growth both in writing and thoughts since Days of War, Nights of Love.

I think what I liked more than anything was how the book included a healthy dose of humility alongside the standard hyberole Crimethinc. is known for. The protagonists don't just save the day in some romantic revolution, they have weaknesses and failures and in the end despite a rousing call for hope, the questioning and t...more

The cats at crimethinc used to constantly amaze me with their boradsheets, manifestos and books. Their previous Recipe's book was fantastic how-to guide to survive the apocalypse combined with a protestor/activist toolkit and prankster arsenal. Expect Resistance is more short story laden than i thought. Its an interesting experimental narrative approach about living the life of the dreamer and the square but i don't really think its the best of their work... I review this so that you might pick ...more

recommends it for: Activists, anarchists
This is very good stuff. Although I feel it’s mainly written for activists, I enjoyed it very much. It’s something like propaganda (in the best sense of the word) mixed with a pretty neat story about a couple of activists. The chapter about failure is very interesting and gave a whole lot to think about. I’d pretty much put this book in the genre of philosophy in that it really gets you thinking and in the end made me change some aspects of my life. This one and Days of War, also by the Cr...more

The follow up to the Anarchist smash hit Days of War, Nights of Love. It simultaneously presents a more intellectual analysis of the world through an anarchist perspective while responding to the naysayers and critics of the first book and the crimethinc milieu in general. Not just Anarchist 101 for disaffected teenagers, but accessible to a much wider audience this time around. Let's hope it's more fuel to the fire.

Read in February, 2008
This book is everything I was hoping it to be. A more mature, well-rounded version of Days of War. The intertextual weaving of the narrative combine with the essays was brilliant and well-executed and made for a much more compelling reading than a book of straight non-fiction essays. A lot of CrimethInc. detractors should really read this book before going off on another tired strawman tirade.
