Subject: Anarchism in Action: Methods, Tactics, Skills, and Ideas


[Feel free to forward to other lists that would find this information 
useful]

I have completed the final draft of the first edition of Anarchism In 
Action: Methods, Tactics, Skills, and Ideas. A book of practical 
organizing and activist information for anarchists and other radical anti-
authoritarian activists.

http://www.radio4all.org/aia/

The final edition has many corrections and new additions and the web 
version has been slightly organized for more convenient browsing. I have 
also created a PDF of the book.
