![]() “My motivation at the time was simple,” said Powell in an article for The Guardian. Powell quit his job, however, to write the Anarchist Cookbook. The book was written by William Powell, a manager of a bookstore in Greenwich Village. The book provides instructions for making LSD and teargas, primers on how to operate various firearms, how to sabotage different kinds of infrastructure, and writing on anarchist philosophy. But some topics, like how to make improvised bombs, don’t have an expiration date. Since it was first written in 1971, much of its information is out of date. Broadly, the book covers four areas: drugs electronics, sabotage, and surveillance natural, nonlethal, and lethal weapons and explosives and booby traps. It’s a bizarre instruction manual that covers a wide array of topics whose only connection is that they are often illegal and dangerous. It’s difficult to find a book more eclectic, violent, provocative, and incendiary than the Anarchist Cookbook.
