5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 12 Nov 2007

By	Simon Amos (London) - See all my reviews

I found this after having really enjoyed Banksy's book (Wall and Piece) and I was looking for something similar. What I like about this though is that it's got street art from all over the world - things i would have never seen otherwise.

I found it interesting to see the responses to the war from loads of different countries, and it made me think that 'guerilla art' is more powerful than it would normally get credit for. This book seems to have all the best artists out there - from what I know of street art - and a lot I will be looking into more (Space Hijackers seem great).

It is also surprisingly well written for what is primarily a picture book, and the text gives you the background to the art which is good.

So, for anyone who wants to know more about street art, and see some of the best stuff that's out there at the moment, I don't think you will be disappointed with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable document, 9 Dec 2007

By	J. N. Penton - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I stumbled across this book through the New York Times, which, after a good review, desribed it as an "invaluable document". This in part because many of the hard hitting images lasted only hours in the public domain before various state agencies (of more or less repressive regimes) covered them up. Luckily, the efforts of the book's editors provided a vehicle whereby the creators of these protests against the war in Iraq and the more nebulous "war on terror" could put their work on show globally. For anyone who marched in London against the war, or who supects there is something unsettling and coercive in the behaviour of America and its friends this is indeed an invaluable, enjoyable and absorbing record and required reminder that resistance is alive and well.
