Still notorious, radical, and revolutionary 50 years later.
A survival guide from one of the greatest creative organizers of the 20th century - now with a new foreword by co-conspirator Lisa Fithian.
Throughout the 1960s and '70s, Abbie Hoffman crisscrossed the country, ferreting out alternative ways of getting by in America - some illegal and all radical. Causing scandals with its advice on how to Survive!, Fight!, and Liberate! in the "prison that is Amerika", Steal This Book is a revolutionary's manual to running a guerilla movement, as well as getting free food, housing, transportation, medical care, and more.
This anniversary edition gives a new generation an insider's view into the movements of the '60s and '70s. While many of the holes in the system that Abbie exposed have since been plugged, the spirit of revolution, the dedication to opposing injustice, and the passion of creative activism continue to inspire today.
