The horrors of the world are right there in front of us. Just turn
the pages of the paper or surf the news channels: We wear
the labor of hundreds of women workers killed in Bangladesh.
U.S. drones slaughter whole families in Pakistan's tribal
areas. Hunger-striking prisoners at Guantánamo are force fed;
prisoners in California's prisons call a hunger strike against
conditions condemned internationally as torture. The ecology
of the planet is threatened with destruction. The drumbeat
for US imperial military action in the Middle East grows louder
by the day. The Obama administration backs sweeping new
measures limiting basic rights. The number arrested under
"stop and frisk" just reached 5 MILLION, feeding a generation
of young people of color into a system of mass incarceration.

At a time when humanity is facing unspeakable horrors and
the world cries out for revolution, there is one bookstore
where you can fi nd the books and the deep engagement
about why the world is the way it is and the possibility of
a radically diff erent and better way the world could be. That
store is Revolution Books. Scientifi c and poetic, wrangling
and visionary, Revolution Books is at the center of building a
movement for revolution. Yet its existence and growth requires
new sources of support – it needs YOUR support. It is a rare
resource for the future of us all. It must not be lost.

Revolution Books is where all can learn that the possibility
for emancipating revolution exists. It is where you can fi nd and
dig into the work of Bob Avakian, who over several decades
has summed up the positive and negative experience of the
communist revolution so far, drawing from a broad range of
human experience. As the result, a new synthesis of communism
has been brought forward – a viable vision and strategy
for a radically new society and world, and there is also
the crucial leadership that is needed to carry forward the
struggle toward that goal.

This vision, so needed now in the face such global horrors,
opens up the whole political atmosphere to the possibility of
fundamental change providing a way out of the madness. At
Revolution Books you can partake in a rebellious spirit that
refuses to accept the horrors of today's world. Revolution
Books promotes the wide ranging scope of intellectual work,
ferment, and dissent that is integral to the emancipation of
humanity, off ering an amazing collection of books and DVDs
on history and political theory, novels and poetry, atheism and
science, geopolitics and philosophy, visual art and fi lm, as well
as children's literature and books in Spanish.

With its regular programs of mind-expanding events – book
readings, debates, discussions, fi lm showings, musical performances
– Revolution Books invites participation and engagement
in the search for a new way for the world. And, it is
where people can connect with the movement for revolution.
