The russian terrorists and revolutionaries Bakunin and Netschajew, the punk-extremist and national-bolshevist Edward Limonov, the hippie-revolutionary and eventual proto-yuppie Jerry Rubin, Mohamed Atta and the leftist groups of our day - all these people have on thing in common: they like the word civil-war, each in their own way. The essays collected in this book intend to clear up what is hidden by the simple formulas of our political language. Resistance, opposition, radicalism, revolution - the language of rebellion is ambigious and ubiquitous; it takes a precise and concrete look to make out what is acted out beneath its surface and to understand how exactly it is put to use. And to ultimately restore its dignity.
