This classic work has been used extensively by the military and police forces. Techniques, disciplines, precautions and warnings pervade what may be the most disquieting book of contemporary times. No library descriptions found. |

Do not try to make anything following Powell’s instructions. Mostly you’ll get fizzles, but occasionally some very unstable explosives will result. There have been numerous efforts to correct Powell’s work, but it isn’t worth the trouble to track them down. If you are actually looking for this sort of information, check out Kurt Saxon’s oeuvre, the Black Book series, and various military manuals.
The most interesting thing about the Anarchist Cookbook is that it was published by a major publisher and widely promoted. It was prominently displayed in mainstream book stores (physical locations were people used to buy print books). I can’t imagine such a thing happening today, in the era of mass shootings and jihadist terrorism. In 1971, the face of terrorism was a cute co-ed leaving a little-bitty bomb in an isolated restroom, set to go off after closing hours. It makes me nostalgic.
To Powell’s credit, he has tried to stop the constant re-issuing of Cookbook, but he long ago sold the rights. For a very interesting legal and publishing history of the Anarchist Cookbook, see The Wrong Hands, by Ann Larabee. ( )
