"There are some things that go bump in the night. Make no mistake about that. And we are the ones who bump back."

A new and long-overdue book of tactics for direct action. Includes information on how to approach a target and conduct surveillance without being seen yourself, how to approach and leave a target during an action and, if all goes wrong, how to escape. Along the way are top tips, essential skills, pointers toward extending your skills base, a bit of politics, and some really bad puns.

"This is not an urban guerrilla manual, but I believe that by adopting a more systematic approach you can: improve the way you go about the planning of actions; increase the overall efficiency of your actions by having a systematic method of planning and conducting them; increase the chances of pulling off a successful action; and, perhaps most importantly, lessen the chances of getting busted." from the introduction
