 I do not thing this should be an introductory book. I found myself having to look up more in depth information on concepts the Baillargeon tried to explain because he does not do a good job explaining the concepts. A lot of this book feels as if it relies on prior knowledge in order to understand what the author is trying to say.

Baillargeon's writing style tends to also be rather droning and makes it very difficult for me personally to absorb what is being said. He does a poor job of balancing information with interesting writing. As I was reading I just heard Ben Stien's voice in my head the entire time.

This was a very interesting and informative book. It was an easier read than a lot of other historical and/or political books, which makes it a much more accessible book for everyone. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about anarchism.

Good overview of history, practice, and ideas of anarchism. Does not go in depth on any particular issues, but a great way to get an anarchist's perspective on anarchism.
