Obsolete Communism: The Left Wing Alternative

By Gabriel Cohn-Bendit and Daniel Cohn-Bendit

Book Overview

Daniel Cohn-Bendit - aka Danny the Red - led demonstrations at the Sorbonne in Nanterre which led to disciplinary action by the university and questioning by the local police. The immediate result of this heavy-handed discipline was a huge increase in the size of the French student movement and the outbreak of rioting which brought France to the edge of revolution in May '68. Cohn-Bendit's book brings first hand reporting from the front lines of that struggle and brings an intimacy not available in other accounts. Essential reading for revolutionaries.

Cohn Bendit back in the good old days

Cohn-Bendit used to be great. This is also the best chronological account of the May events next to The Beginning of the End: Paris '68. Very much suggested despite Cohn-Bendit's turn today.
