Liner Note Book List

An interesting aspect of Rage Against the Machine's second full length album, Evil Empire, is the books that are shown in the liner notes. These books make a statement about the condition of society today. Here is a complete list of the books shown in the liner notes. This list was taken from the Rage Against the Machine FAQ, and all credit should be given to Gavvin Rattmann, the compiler of the FAQ, and others who helped to create it.
