I have first downloaded it in pdf and then thought it so interesting that I bought a second hand copy. I didn't knew about Pacifica before and has such was very interested in it. For me this was a very valuable reading, documenting the genesis of such project and it's growing pains. It's also interesting how it was "derailed" by society changes and how it managed and not managed to adapt itself to them. It's a valuable document to all interested or participating in projects of community/free/open radio. Highly recommend it in that regard. ( )

Alone Pacifica could not transform the ever-deepening impersonality of contemporary life, the banality of consumer culture, the persistence of war, and the erosion of community. Rather, as a witness, commentator, and actor, its overall programming provides an ongoing chorus of voices, calling to mind an ideal of a peaceful, democratic, global community yet to be realized.
