This book contained a lot of well-researched subject matter on art and political statements in the United States. It described well the act of art collectives as agents of change and resistance, many of which had some success in their aims.

The collection of essays felt largely academic and almost purely historical. With a title like "The War of Art", I would have enjoyed a more narrative and action-oriented approach in addition to the rich historical context it provided. Although it wrote in depth about the daring and courage of the the artists, I felt the book itself lacked courage to attempt the same.

Very good and thorough account of art, politics and protest in the US over the past few decades. Skillfully binds together lots of different issues and causes in one book.

This was a wonderful exploration of the ways in which activists across social causes utilize art to spread their message. The best part of reading this was realizing that the tactics that prove to be most successful and responsive to people outside the activist circles are all things that we can contribute to. The zeitgeist of cultural revolution begins with people realizing they ave the tools to start movement right in front of them, just by expressing themselves openly and unapologetically.
