His fourth book, An Unauthorized Biography of the World, explores similar recovery projects in several countries.

My Way to Fight,forthcoming from Pluto Press and Between the Lines, explores the lives, motives and actions of grassroots peace and human rights activists in Israel-Palestine.

Michael Riordon also leads courses, workshops and seminars for community organizations, trade unions, schools, colleges and universities. Topics include practical uses of oral history, finding/creating spaces for marginalized voices to be heard, and accessible techniques for producing audio/podcast documentaries.
