The Anarchist Cookbook will shock, it will disturb, it will provoke. It places in historical perspective an era when "Turn on, Burn down, Blow up" are revolutionary slogans of the day.
Says the author:
"This book... is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as The Weathermen, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that 's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book."
In what the author considers a survival guide, there is explicit information on the uses and effects of drugs ranging from pot to heroin to peanuts.
There is detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers.
There is a comprehensive chapter on natural, non-lethal, and lethal weapons, running the gamut from cattle prods to submachine guns to bows and arrows.
The section on explosives and booby traps ranges from TNT to whistle traps.
One hundred and eleven drawings supplement the recipes.
"This book is for anarchists," says William Powell, "those who feel able to discipline themselves on all the subjects (from drugs to weapons, to explosives) that are currently illegal and suppressed in this country."
Techniques, disciplines, precautions, and warnings pervade what may be the most disquieting "how-to" book of contemporary times.
Warning
Read this book, but keep in mind that the topics written about here are illegal and constitute a threat. Also, more importantly, almost all the recipes are dangerous, especially to the individual who plays around with them without knowing what he is doing. Use care, caution, and common sense.This book is not for children or morons.

11/01/2008: This book does not promote anyone to do anything illegal. Very well written material. I think this is the sort of book that everyone should read. It explains how all things are done. This may help to understand how other societies do things and may protect you in some aspects.

10/23/2008: I don't agree with anything in this book, but banning books is not the answer. You have to fight the problem beneath - why would someone WANT to do anything described in this book?
