William Powell wrote The Anarchist Cookbook in 1969 at the age of
nineteen. It included everything from making bombs to brewing LSD
in the bathroom. On publication, it was hailed variously as
"outrageous," "extremely dangerous," "communist," and "the most
irresponsible publishing venture in American history." It also
became an overnight bestseller. Powell's memoir chronicles the
atmosphere of the 1960's counterculture—the Civil Rights Movement
was at its height and the federal government was engaged in a
brutal and entirely unnecessary war in Southeast Asia. The
zeitgeist was radicalization, and the watchword was revolution, and
Powell left an enduring record of his thoughts and anger in the
shape of The Anarchist Cookbook . The Cookbook: Coming of Age in
Turbulent Times portrays Powell's rebellious adolescence, political
radicalization, the publication of the book, the firestorm of
controversy that followed, and how it shadowed his entire life. He
explores his feelings and the lessons learned, and how he went on
to help hundreds of children all over the world in education.
