Beyond the Promised Land: The Movement and the Myth by David Noble
Beyond the Promised Land: The Movement and the Myth

Jordan, April 11, 2006

Noble is an artful writer - this book, as complex as its subject matter is at times, reads like poetry. From Gilgamesh to Moses, from the Reaganites to the Zapatistas, he ties it all into one prevailing myth and observes its deconstruction by today's revolutionaries and activists. I'd have called it the Introductory Textbook to the Decline of Western Civilization, but that's just me.
