How to Blow Up a Pipeline

This provocative manifesto makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse. The author argues that peaceful protest hasn't been effective at stopping the booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and rising temperatures. He offers a counter-history of mass popular change and argues that the strategic acceptance of property destruction and violence has been the only route for revolutionary change. In this braided narrative spanning from the forests of Germany to the deserts of Iraq, the author offers an incisive discussion of the politics and ethics of pacifism and violence. This book compellingly demands that we start blowing up oil pipelines in order to stop fossil fuel extraction.
