"Combining the distilled wisdom of socialist writer Jeff Sparrow and the graphic ingenuity of comic artist Sam Wallman, 12 Rules for Strife is a handbook for changing everything . Wallman continues the mind-expanding style demonstrated in his previous book Our Members Be Unlimited. Each page bursts forth with breaking walls, connecting ribbons and masses of people combining as one. So much is communicated with relatively few words." --Andrew Chuter, Green Left "This impressively succinct guide to political struggle would make an excellent primer for anyone interested in understanding much of what is happening around the world right now . Wallman's use of punchy colors and intricate illustration adds dynamic energy to Sparrow's distillation of political theory." --Sian Cain, The Guardian "12 Rules for Strife might be economical in its telling, but its stirring imagery and hopeful idealism make for a rich experience -- one sure to inspire others to assume the mantle of practical activism." --Nathan Smith, The Saturday Paper "A great deal of effort has obviously gone into conceptualizing this book regarding what rules to select and formulate and how these might be treated visually.


The result is that the text and illustrations merge creatively, the two becoming one in a seamless unity. The end product is more than a book; it is a significant work of political art." --Rowan Cahill, Recorder Praise for Our Members Be Unlimited: "Activist and comics journalist Wallman debuts with a convincing, transfixing graphic history of the impact and future potential of unions . This is a dynamic, persuasive look at labor power." --Publishers Weekly "Wallman achieves what many on the left struggle with: he makes history, theory, and organizing practice accessible and fun to read about." --Matthew Noe, Booklist "Our Members Be Unlimited helps us realize that, when we build union solidarity in the workplace, our efforts go beyond wages and conditions--rekindling the old spirit of collectivism is how we build a better future for humanity." --Jacobin Praise for Crimes Against Nature: "Sparrow tells these stories with the lucidity and animation of a true crime podcast . He is fearless too in his criticism of progressives who write off their fellow citizens as uncaring and complicit.


" --The Saturday Paper "This urgent, incisive work [shows] how industrialization, in the hands of the wealthy and powerful, drove a wedge between ordinary people and the natural world." --The Sydney Morning Herald "[E]xquisitely argued." --Thomas Klikauer, Marx & Philosophy.
