Six previously uncollected essays in alternative history – maybe even lost/found history – from the author of Sacred Drift, Pirate Utopias, Heresies, riverpeople, Escape from the 19th Century, and many more.

The American Revolution As A Gigantic Real Estate Scam establishes the acutely revisionist mood; – another essay touching on early American history, Toland, Blake and the American Druids, follows.

Then, a pair of essays on the scandal of eugenics in America – Jukes in Utopia, about a family oppressed by Eugenicists in upstate New York, and The Monkey Trial: A Revisionist Interpretation.

Finally, two essays on anarchist themes: The Coffeehouse Republic, on Gustav Landauer and the Munich Soviet of 1919, and Brand: An Italian Anarchist and His Dream, on Enrico Arrigoni, the last of the Italian left-wing Stirnerite individualists and his amazing insurrectionism and illegalism.
