Cover -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1. The Science of Revolutionary Warfare -- 2. Sabotage -- 3. The Anarchist Cookbook -- 4. Hitmen -- 5. Monkeywrenching -- 6. Ka Fucking Boom -- 7. Vast Libraries of Jihad and Revolution -- 8. Weapons of Mass Destruction -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Selected Bibliography -- Index.
Summary: The state's right to police such information has always hinged on whether the disseminators have legitimate First Amendment rights. Larabee ends with an analysis of the 1979 publication of instructions for making a nuclear weapon, which raises the ultimate question: should a society committed to free speech allow a manual for constructing such a weapon to disseminate freely? Both authoritative and eye-opening, The Wrong Hands will reshape our understanding of the history of radical violence and state repression in America.
