Book Reviews of Recipes for Disaster: An Anarchist Cookbook
Book Review: Disappointing "Pacifist Scrapbook"
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book instead of the "Anarchist Cookbook." From what I've heard this book was supposed to be a better cookbook for activists, since it was written in retaliation to the former.
Wrong - this book had no real value in its text. 'How to Party' paraphrasing one chapter from the book, "When women get together to party, nothing happens, de fin'e." How to sneak into less public areas "duh wear a suit and look like you belong", and chapters pertaining to panty antic bull $h]t. Examples: break a fusebox, temporary disabling utilities until a repairman comes,
Don't get me wrong, you don't chase cookbooks for the recipes, everything in the "Anarchist Cookbook" could be learned in a crash course in organic chemistry, just hop into the nearest university, befriend a chemist and wala you're ahead of the game. But the point of the cookbooks are in the collectible value- this had 'no real value.' Just 700 pages of an immature brat ranting about how messed up the government is, providing no real action. This person could have at least justified their view, showed some deep insight into the government or at least provide some real solution, and not temporary nuisances that place you in jail for stupid reasons. "Hi pig, yea look at me I'm an anarchist and I broke the glass window, catch me if you can"... please, if you want to get a point across, start by crippling the right targets, don't fruit fly.
Overall I would NOT recommend buying this book. I'm already returning my copy, even if I only receive 10% back that's still a well saved one dollar bill, on principal...
Summary of Recipes for Disaster: An Anarchist Cookbook
Beautifully designed A-Z of the totality of revolutionary politics. This brand new Crimethinc book is the action guide - the direct action guide. From affinity groups to wheatpasting, coalition building, hijacking events, mental health, pie-throwing, shoplifting, stenciling, supporting survivors of domestic violence, surviving a felony trial, torches, and whole bunch more. Incredible design, and lots of graphics give it that hip situ feel. Loads to read, to think about, and to do. At 650 pages, you could always throw the damn book at a suitable target.
