An anthology of three key pamphlets explaining the situationist movement in the late 1960: The Poverty of Student Life; Totality for Kids; The Decline and Fall of the Spectacular Commodity Economy, plus eye witness accounts of the Paris May events. By far more accessible than the standard text Society of the Spectacle, and illustrated throughout with photographs of the May events and graffiti that played such an intergral part of the uprising, the anthology imparts a real sense of the spirit of revolution prevalent at the time.
