Thanks for all your work that has been so informative and empowering to me and I am sure many like me. It is always a bit suspect to give too much emphasis to one event that changes ones mind about issues, but, for me reading "Understanding Power" was a really life changing moment where I literally felt that my eyes had been opened and I was able to finally apply a critical analysis to what was going on in the world. Also, reading this book got me out of hierarchical SWP politics and into anarchism (and for that I am forever grateful!!).
