The Anarchist Cookbook, William Powell. First Paperback Edition, Second Printing.
The Anarchist Cookbook, William Powell
First paperback edition, second printing of Powell's infamous tactical manual, containing instructions for the manufacture of explosives, various weapons, rudimentary telecommunications phreaking devices, as well as guides for the home manufacture of illicit drugs, including LSD. With a prefatory note on Anarchism Today by P.M. Bergman. Written by Powell at the apex of the counterculture era to protest against the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War, Powell later converted to Anglicanism and attempted to have the book removed from circulation. The first paperback edition was issued concurrently with the hardcover first edition and the second printing was issued the same month as the first.
