The Politics of Attack cover

This story explores the history, ideas, and strategies of insurrectionary anarchism. This book asks the reader to consider the theories of bomb-throwing, window-smashing, graffiti-scrawling arsonists, and through an examination of movement communiqués, embrace the critique offered by the clandestine, urban guerrillas fighting for total liberation against the omnipresent forces of violence and coercion.

‘This book is a unique historical-to-contemporary overview of insurrectionary currents and a welcome contribution to contemporary anarchist studies.’
Allan Antliff, University of Victoria, Anarchist Studies 27.1

‘The definitive text on late-twentieth century– early twentyfi-rst century leftwing violence and terrorism.’
