Fire to the Powder Keg
War and Social Guerrilla Struggle in Iraq
Translated by Wolfi Landstreicher

Fire to the Powder Keg examines the social nature of the guerrilla struggle against the forces of Western capital and against the tragic conditions imposed on the Iraqi people through years of bombings, embargoes and repression. Fire to the Powder Keg challenges its readers to demonstrate that they are not allies of their masters, but rather accomplices of their Iraqi brothers and sisters who have not been crushed by the indiscriminate, terroristic violence of the invasion and occupation of their home. Now more than ever, the dimensions of social revolution are global. Originally published by NN and Porfido in Italy under the title Fuoco alle Polveri in 2004, these writings were first translated into English by Wolfi Landsgtreicher in 2005.
