I loved this book. I found it when I was in college and going through a very minor "angst" period mixed with a dash a philosophy. This book was awesome. I have always liked graffiti art and protest. This book is a lot of fun to read and very powerful as well. A great coffee table book that you can keep looking at over and over.
I love this book. I used to use it as a text book in a design class I taught. Great art and some brilliant commentary by Tony Kushner.

A wide variety of political dissent art, from all around the world.
Great design book chocked full of political pieces.
كتاب معادى للرأس مالية اوى... :D
This is a gem of a book.
Few design publications can match the sheer volume of high-concept work presented here. Strong messages, strong visual communication. The work literally speaks for itself, and is followed by a lengthy interview of Milton Glaser by Steve Heller.
holy cow! this book is incredible, but not for the weak of heart... definitely rated NC-17 for disturbing images, lots of war images, etc. but this is a must-have for the serious graphic designer.
Another collection of world graphic art worth checking out.
Not for the timid or easily offended.
