The Anarchist Cookbook Summary:By William Powell
This is a brutal book-sensual, rude, coarse, and cruel. However, it is timely and well-written, even witty. Professionally and painstakingly, all possible informative instructions for individual actions of destruction having a presumably social effect are detailed here. The book is perhaps the most notorious "How To" manual on the market. Techniques, disciplines, precautions, and warnings pervade what may be the most disquieting "how-to" book of contemporary times. This is the most asked for book that we know of. Is it any good? Well, it's now in its 29th printing since 1971, and it has chapters on home preparation of weapons, electronics, drugs, and explosives. "This book is for anarchists 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." We all know that government becomes the enemy the minute it decides things in a way that doesn't make a particular person happy. Fortunately, there's still William Powell's The Anarchist Cookbook, which has been ingeniously disguised as a liberal chestnut purportedly written by a teenaged hippie who was scared shitless about getting sent to Vietnam. Powell's instruction manual for insurrection, which devotees such as Fred Phelps refer to as The Antichrist Cookbook, actually gives today's most passionate conservatives a starting point for defeating the government that is hell-bent to deliver us from anarchy. With such recipes for mayhem such as the making of bombs and other ways to become a minor irritant to the federal government, it was very savvy for an older, wiser Powell to disavow his classic so its revolutionary riches wouldn't be exploited by liberals, thereby remaining solely in the hands of real patriots such as Hal Turner and the late Timothy McVeigh. Summary: Keep America free Rating: 5 Mind the korny title, but with all seriousness this book was a good read. Cookbook - not really, information is a little wrong, but more along the collector's line of books. Its more of inspiration and philosophy, this symbolizes America, freedom to live, and maintain freedom. And in a socialist state as America is now, this book must be kept! Summary: Don't waste your money - it doesn't even deserve one star!Rating: 1 I was sorely disappointed with this book. There are not enough pictures and diagrams. The ones that are included are poor quality. The material is old and seams to be a compilation of research by a Vietnam era hippie more than an authoritative volume. There is an entire chapter on drugs (from the 60's it appears)... what a waste of space and time. If I wanted to learn about illegal drugs I would have bought "The Drugmaker Cookbook" or some other such title! To top it off - it was not even an interesting or entertaining read! Summary: Ha Ha What a funny look back at my pastRating: 3 I used to own a copy of this book back in the 70s and I remembered it as being some dark, secret handbook of recipes and anarchy.
Somewhere over the years I lost my copy and had totally forgotten about it.
But at a recent gun show I saw copies for sale and being at the age where I am starting to get nostalgic for what I consider a "better time" (meaning the 70s and 80s), I picked up a copy to recapture some lost youth I suppose.
Oh my... how 30 years can change ones perception.
This book is interesting to read for its historical snapshot of late 60's drug induced hippy era idealism and anti-establishment rebellion, but otherwise THIS IS PRETTY DARNED FUNNY !!!!
As a degreed Chemist myself, I will say that maybe 30% of the formulas will actually work IF (and I stress IF) you don't kill yourself first because of the inherent dangers and lack of safety instructions. The other 70% of the formulas are pretty much rubbish.
As for the drawings and schematics for booby trap devices they are less detailed and about as useful as the pictures you see Wiley Coyote reading on a Road Runner cartoon.
Finally the forward by Peter Bergmann is so off the mark and now proven wrong by history that it dates the book horribly -- but as I said earlier also makes it a fun "snapshot of late 60s- early 70s" mentality among the youth culture.
It's a cute little relic and piece of "dark literature" from a simpler more innocent time in America --- but for those of you truly seeking to form your own world order, overthrow the government and let Anarchy run wild, you may want to look elsewhere for your motivation and education.

I think it is VERY important to note that the original author of the Anarchist Cookbook has reportedly discredited this book publically and expressed his wishes that the book no longer be printed.
His reasons being that he wrote it when he was only a teenager and was expressing outrage and anger at the Vietnam War in the best way he knew how at that young age with so much pain and violence around him.
As with all of us who think we knew everything when we were 17 or 18 years old ------- WISDOM COMES WITH AGE AND EXPERIENCE. Mr. Powell has indicated he no longer supports the ideas expressed in this book and wishes it would dissapear so that hopefully no impressionable minds are influenced by it.
I respect him for that position.
Rating: 5 I had been looking for this book for quite some time. One quick search on Amazon leads me right to it. Great book full of useful tips and plenty of things that I'm fairly certain would go horribly wrong if someone were to attempt them. Keep in mind though, there are much easier ways to do some of the things in this book. Summary: Anarchist Cookbook ReviewRating: 5 Dear buyers,
