I've put together a book (http:\/\/www.radio4all.org\/aia\/<\/a>) that is a compendium of anarchist\/activist methods skills and tactics. It covers everything from decisionmaking, direct action, fundraising, and security -- and much more. Just about everything contained in it was found on the

web; the idea behind making this book was to put all this useful information in one place.

I welcome you to read it, download it, mirror it, and above all use it.

What follows is the book's table of contents:
