Synopsis

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 624-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 new Second Edition adds twenty-one new photos and a new introduction as well as an entirely redesigned 7 x 10 inch format with photos and illustrations 80% and 180% larger, respectively, than the original edition. 400 pages at the same ol' price.

About this title

About the Author

In a society which glorifies their power and our passivity, all thought which challenges this passivity is thoughtcrime. Crimethink is the transgression without which freedom and self-determination are impossible it is the skeleton key that unlocks the prisons of our age.

CrimethInc. is the black market where we trade in this precious contraband. Here, the secret worlds of shoplifters, rioters, dropouts, deserters, adulterers, vandals, daydreamers that is to say, of all of us, in those moments when, wanting more, we indulge in little revolts converge to form gateways to new worlds where theft, cheating, warfare, boredom, and so on are simply obsolete.

From the Inside Flap

A beautifully designed direct action guide. From affinity groups to wheat-pasting, coalition building, hijacking events, mental health, pie-throwing, shoplifting, stenciling, supporting survivors of domestic violence, surviving a felony trial, torches, and whole bunch more. This new Second Edition adds twenty-one new photos and a new introduction as well as an entirely redesigned 7" x 10" format with photos and illustrations 80% and 180% larger, respectively, than the original edition. 400 pages at the same ol' price.
