Summary: Tracing the group's development from the bohemian Paris of the '50s to the explosive days of May '68, Wark presents the Situationists as an ensemble, rather than the brainchild and dominion of its most famous member, Guy Debord. Roaming through Europe and the lives of those who made up the movement -- including Constant, Asger Jorn, Michèle Bernstein, Alex Trocchi and Jacqueline De Jong -- Wark uncovers an international movement riven with conflicting passions and swept up in the storms of history.
