Books, Arts & Manners: Recipes for Destruction

The Anarchist Cookbook By William Powell

Lyle Stuart, 160 pp., $5.95 Peter Bergman’s first sentence of the introduction to this extravagant “cookbook” sums up its contents admirably: “This is a brutal book—sensual, rude, cruel and coarse.” It is all that and more—it is a manual of terror that makes Carlos Marighela’s Minimanual of Urban Guerrilla Warfare a petty affair indeed.
