Recipes for Disaster
An Anarchist Cookbook
Crimethinc Ex-Workers Collective

Three years in the making, Recipes for Disaster is the long-awaited follow-up to the CrimethInc. collective’s notorious first book, Days of War, Nights of Love. This 400-page manual complements the romance and idealism of that earlier work with practical information and instruction. Over thirty collectives collaborated in testing, composing, and editing the book’s 62 sections, which range from Affinity Groups, Coalition Building, and Mental Health to Sabotage, Squatting, and Wheatpasting. These are illustrated with extensive technical diagrams and first-hand accounts, and prefaced with a thorough discussion of the diverse roles direct action can play in social transformation. If you’re looking for a tactical handbook for revolutionary action, look no further.

This second edition, released in Fall of 2012, is comprised of the same content as the first edition, and boasts a new larger 7″ x 10″ format; photos and diagrams that are 77% and 164% larger,...

Anarchist VoicesAn Oral History of Anarchism in AmericaPaul Avrich
In Anarchist Voices, Avrich lets anarchists speak for themselves.
“The 180 interviewees in this oral history (mostly anarchists, but also their friends, associates, and relatives) represent diverse political tendencies—individualists, collectivists, pacifists, revolutionaries. What unites them is an optimistic faith that people will live in harmony once the impositions of government disappear. The respondents give firsthand recollections of Emma Goldman, Rudolf Rocker, Sacco and Vanzetti and other key anarchists; describe their experiences in libertarian schools and colonies; and offer trenchant observations on the dangers of authoritarian communism, bureaucracy and entrenched institutions. Among those interviewed are self-proclaimed ‘philosophical anarchist’ Roger Baldwin, founder of the American Civil Liberties Union; Daniel Guerin, historian of the U.S. labor movement; Alexandra Kropotkin, English-born daughter of Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin; Albert Boni, publisher of ‘Modern Library’ classics and a socialist; and Dwight Macdonald, who launched the journal Politics in 1944. Avrich profiles a movement that continues to exercise an appeal with its calls for self-determination,...

Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice
Rudolf Rocker
Preface by Noam Chomsky

“The publication of Rudolf Rocker’s Anarcho-Syndicalism is an event of much importance for people who are concerned with problems of liberty and justice. Rocker expresses throughout his faith in the capacity of ordinary people to construct for themselves a world suited to their inner needs, to create and participate in an advancing culture of liberation in free communities, to discover through their own thought and engagement the institutional arrangements that can best satisfy their deeply rooted striving for freedom, justice, compassion and solidarity, at a particular historical moment. This vision remains as inspiring as when it was written a half century ago, and no less valid as a stimulus to our thinking and our constructive action.” —Noam Chomsky
“[Rocker’s] exposition of anarcho-syndicalism at the peak of its influence is both a precious document of its time and a valuable reminder in our time of the continuing importance of an essential element in the complex ideology of anarchism.”...

Dreams of Freedom
A Ricardo Flores Magón Reader
Edited by Chaz Bufe and Mitchell Cowen Verter

The most comprehensive anthology of the Mexican revolutionary’s writings available in English. Translated, compiled, and annotated by Mitchell Verter and Chaz Bufe. Also includes a lengthy biographical preface by Verter.
The words of this Mexican-American working class hero brought to English language readers for the first time.
“From the darker nations comes the vibrant and still fresh voice of the tremendous anarcho-communist Flores Ricardo Magon. In Mexico they have streets named after him. Elsewhere he is little known. Hopefully those who are illiterate in Spanish will now take this great radical into our hearts through this very powerful collection. Land and Liberty!” —Vijay Prashad
Along with Emiliano Zapata, Ricardo Flores Magón (b. 1874) is regarded as one of the most important figures of the Mexican Revolution. Through his newspaper Regeneración, he boldly criticized the injustices of the country’s military dictatorship and worked to build the popular movement that eventually overthrew it....

Expect Resistance
A Field Manual
Crimethinc Ex-Worker’s Collective

Expect Resistance is not one but three books, each of which may be read as a complete work unto itself. The first book, printed in standard black ink, continues the inquiry into modern life and its discontents begun in Days of War, Nights of Love. Just as that book included improved versions of texts originally published between 1996 and 1999, this book draws on CrimethInc. material from 2000 to 2004, painstakingly refined and augmented with a great deal of new content. The second book, in red ink, is a composite account, related by three narrators, of the adventures and tribulations that inevitably ensue when people pursuing their dreams enter into conflict with the world as it is.

Together these comprise a third book, an exploration of the complex relationship between ideals and reality. Expect Resistance is a field manual for a field on which all manuals are useless,...
