New Book: ALF – Complete Diary Of Actions

Posted | 0 comments

Every ALF raid, in one place: New 130 page book chronicling over 40 years of the Animal Liberation Front.

Just back from the printer: The first assembled timeline of the Animal Liberation Front’s 40+ year history – from broken windows to lab raids.

In 2009, I released the first timeline of the ALF’s (then-) 30 year history. After selling over 1,000 copies, the book went out of print in 2012.

Now, 10 years later, I gave the “A.L.F. Diary Of Actions” a thorough update and all new layout, bringing it up to date for 2022. It is now available in two formats: Free PDF download, or paperback.

ALF: Diary Of Actions (preview)

From the introduction:

“A.L.F.: Complete Diary of Actions is the first attempt at compiling the complete history of recorded A.L.F. actions—from lab raids to paint bombs—in one collection. This is the unwritten history of an underground movement that rises to the call of non-human animals, rescuing them through direct or indirect means under the cover of darkness. With this collection, we wish to offer historians and activists the first attempt at a comprehensive resume of the U.S.’s most prolific underground movement, and the last hope for thousands of animals each year.

The information compiled here was pooled from numerous sources. Every effort was made to verify the accuracy of the data, and ensure the thoroughness of this timeline’s scope. It can be speculated that reported actions represent but only a portion of all A.L.F. (and other) activity. This is not presented as an all-inclusive list. Instead, it attempts to collect all actions reported to the greater movement, and many which were less publicized.

In bringing this information together in one place, some points become evident. The sheer prolificness of underground activists in this 30-year old movement is immense, with over 1,500 recorded actions in 40+ years. For all this activity, fewer than 40 activists have been arrested. Of those, only a small handful have served any substantial amount of prison time. The cost/benefit calculation is clear: for the animal liberation movement, the A.L.F. represents a net gain.

The actions here are diverse, in both tactics and impact. Look closely at this timeline, and it will tell a story. Direct action trends corresponding to above-ground campaigns. Cells building their skill level, evolving their tactics, and disbanding for reasons unknown. We see expertly coordinated lab raids of the 1980s fading to the surge of small-scale property damage of the mid-1990s, the further surge of fur farm raids, the return of the lab raid, and the gradual fading of lower-impact retail-level actions into the less numerous, yet higher-impact actions in the era of this timeline’s end.

The greatest power of the Animal Liberation Front perhaps has yet to be realized. While U.S. history has not yet shown us a focused direct action campaign that has collapsed an entire industry and rid it from this earth forever, no movement should scale it’s hope to the limits of recorded history, but instead to the boundless potential of the unwritten future.

Every activist who attended an anti-fur demo this year pairing off and visiting a fur farm would guarantee there were no fur stores to protest next year. Every person who dined at a vegetarian restaurant today pairing off and visiting a slaughterhouse tonight would ensure every restaurant was vegetarian tomorrow. And every person who refused an animal tested product today striking a high-impact blow against animal experimentation tonight would guarantee a more hopeful future for all of vivisection’s victims.

This is the story of those who make animal liberation a reality.

For Liberation

From the intro:

“The largest-ever collection of writings from the Animal Liberation Front

At over 700 pages, this is the definitive look inside the Animal Liberation Front (A.L.F.).

The  A.L.F. Strikes Again is the largest-ever collection of writing from members of the Animal Liberation Front (the “radical fringe of the animal rights movement”), tying together over 40 years of documents and writings with one goal: A complete collection of everything written by the A.L.F. in North America.

The Animal Liberation Front (A.L.F.) intervenes where mainstream animal rights groups have failed. The A.L.F. breaks into buildings, rescues animals, and destroys property of animal abusers. They work outside the law, and, unless caught, their identities are never known.

With few blindspots, this book compiles nearly everything written by the North American A.L.F. – Settling the score on what the A.L.F. is, what they believe, and exactly how they do what they do.

Forty years into the A.L.F.’s history in North America, despite over 1,000 actions, being the subject of multiple congressional hearings, and surviving the label of “America’s number one domestic terrorist threat”—their history has been largely untold.

Academics, journalists, internal opposition and external opposition—many have taken small shots at the full story. Among it all, the A.L.F.’s voice in its own history is the one pushed furthest to the back. In being the saviors of the voiceless, one also becomes the voiceless.

In this collection, the A.L.F.’s voice is restored.

Regarded by many as heroes today, yet regarded by nearly all as heroes tomorrow—this book will play a role in history vindicating the Animal Liberation Front.”

New Book: Liberate – Animal Liberation, Above The Law

Posted | 0 comments

Over the last decade, I have been slowly (very slowly) compiling writings and lecture transcripts into book form, and that book has arrived.

“Liberate: Animal Liberation Above The Law, Stories And Lessons On The Animal Liberation Front, Animal Rights Activism, & The Animal Liberation Underground“

Liberate comes in at nearly 400 pages with essays spanning nearly 20 years.

A sample of the subjects I cover:

• Breaking into farms and labs.
• Researching ALF targets.
• Fugitive stories of being hunted by the FBI.
• History of ALF lab raids.
• How to liberate animals from farms (and more).
• Prison survival for activists.
• Anecdotes and lessons from being targeted law enforcement.
• The outlaw’s guide to security culture.
• The “seven laws of militance.”
• Actionable lessons and tactics from the Animal Liberation Front.

…and more.

• Order on Amazon
• Order from 30+ other sites

Table of Contents

The story of Liberate

Even at a glacial writing and speaking pace, over 10 years the material adds up. But I never thought I was within a light-year of having a books-worth of content, and never considered doing one.

Then several years ago, a book editor asked me to submit an article specifically on how people are caught for Animal Liberation Front actions. As it happened, I had given a talk on this exact subject many years prior. So I went into my archives to locate my notes. But with the passing of many years, the hunt was fruitless. And with no known recording of the talk and forced to write from scratch or decline the invitation, I choose the latter.

I was left to lament the transience of messages delivered from a podium. All that remained for the effort was a stack of boarding passes, cheap applause, occasional audience feedback, and a cobbled- together folder on my computer of video recordings and audio files from the rare organizer (with more initiative than me) who thought ahead to preserve the moment.

This inspired me to take steps to preserve what content I did have in my possession, mostly written. The mission took me across eight retired computers, dozens of boxes, email accounts with forgotten passwords, and even college libraries to photocopy published essays I had no backup of.

Despite my clear failure as an archivist, I was able to cobble together about 150 pages of material – most of it unpublished or seen by few.

When I saw the material came in at a combined 150 pages, I had a brief thought that there could be a book here. But it wasn’t enough.

I advanced to Phase Two of my archivist mission: rounding up the very few lecture recordings that existed from my time speaking at colleges and elsewhere. The recordings were few, but I did preserve about a dozen records that I thought had been lost forever (or never knew existed at all).

At some point I learned you can pay people $1 a minute to transcribe recordings. After handing off my files to them, they returned a megafile of over 15 hours of edited transcriptions. I edited these transcripts down by over 80%, and pushed the project to over 300 pages of material.

The transcripts – along with other loose ends comprised of published writings, unpublished writings, and podcast interviews –  came together to form Liberate.

In Part One, I immediately betray the book’s central mission of “actionable content” with an assemblage of personal interviews & writings, absent of any tactical guidance and merely contextualizing what’s to come.

In Part Two, the action. The principles of moving from idea to execution. When many talk but few strike, what is the exact architecture of beliefs that creates the warrior mindset? I’ve spent years looking at this question and deliver specific insights.

In Part Three, two short entries on the subject of Research & Investigation. Because you can’t shut down what you can’t find.

In Part Four, I move from high-level mindset to hyper-specific: Working outside the law to rescue animals, and the history of those who have. From the laser-focused tactical (“How They Got In”) to the esoteric and editorial (“The Enemy Within”), this is the section specific to those who have broken the law – or want to.

In Part Five, guerrilla media-generation. When an action (of any kind) happens, the work doesn’t end there. You insure an impact that extends far beyond by accessing the media through a secret back door. This is the poorman’s public relations formula: what to do when you have no money, no contacts, perhaps not even a story. I open up my media playbook to generate massive publicity without PR firms or media connections.

In Part Six, what happens after you get caught: prison. Few subjects relevant to the animal liberator are both so under-reported and so willfully misrepresented when they are.

In Part Seven, how to respond to attempts by the government to stop ourmwork. Passivity will always find an excuse. The true threat we face isn’t “government repression,” it’s how we respond to it.

Then, Outtakes. With so much left on the editing room floor across dozens of lecture transcripts and interviews, I offer a small sampling of excerpts acrossm many years. When I felt an item had value that wasn’t covered elsewhere – eitherma useful point, historical curiosity, or engaging anecdote – it was included (in 9-point font) here.

The book ends with a deliberately-positioned message to any animal liberation activist advancing in years, and how the greatest threat to your long term efficacy isn’t the FBI, it’s irrelevance through blind conformity to your “radical activist” identity.

My mission with Liberate is explicit: To write the book I wish I had access to when I was 18 and eager to shortcut past the learning curve of taking effective action.

Thanks for reading.

-Peter Young

“Vegan Nation” Has Arrived

Posted | 2 comments

Warcry Communications has entered the world of fiction with our sixth book: Vegan Nation – an animal liberation novella by longtime activist Rick Bogle. The book is finally back from the printer and ready to ship.

(Before I start promoting the book, everyone should check out Rick’s blog: Primate Freedom.)

Vegan Nation came out in somewhat limited circulation about 3 years ago. I owned a copy for over a year before reading, and when I did, I knew I wanted to do what I could to give it a wider audience.

Vegan Nation is a novella in the (short) literary tradition of books like Rage and Reason. The book follows an activist as he launches an outlaw campaign to stop animal abusers for good, in a militant effort to spark a vegan revolution.

The story draws from lessons in history, particularly the campaign of abolitionist John Brown. While fictional, Vegan Nation is a cautionary tale of what could happen if animal exploiters continue to refuse dialogue or exercise any restraint in their profit-driven onslaught against non-human animals.

Here is some text from the back cover:

In 1858, Abraham Lincoln stated that slavery would not end for at least a century. In 1859, abolitionist John Brown waged a war of weapons against slaveholders, shortening this time to seven years. He is now recorded in history as “the man who killed slavery”.

Today, animals are killed by the billions for food and science, while activists who lawfully protest this cruelty are vilified and imprisoned as “terrorists”.

In time, those responsible for this violence may very well reap what they have sown.

This is the story of one such future. It is a story of a present-day John Brown, bringing the war against animals home to their abusers – a last recourse that may finally bring about a vegan nation.

You can order Vegan Nation for $9.95 + $4 postage from the Warcry Communications website.

I started Warcry because I believe one book is more powerful and motivating than a thousand “website hits”.  Thank you for all the support Warcry has received the last year, and to everyone who purchased the titles Warcry has printed in that time: Flaming Arrows, Underground, and now Vegan Nation.

I will be shipping all pre-orders out over the next several days. Order your copy now and (maybe) have it by the weekend.

PS: If you haven’t seen the announcement about the next book yet, 1) It’s called For The Wild, 2) it’s a collection of letters from political prisoners with much more, and 2) there is a full writeup on it here.

Announcing New Book from Warcry: Vegan Nation

Posted | 0 comments

Taking pre-orders for Vegan Nation, an animal liberation novella.

I’m really happy to announce the next book released by Warcry Communications: Vegan Nation by Rick Bogle.

Our first fiction release, Vegan Nation is an incendiary animal liberation novella by longtime activist Rick Bogle. Vegan Nation tells the story of an activist who launches an outlaw campaign to stop animal abusers for good, in a militant effort to spark a vegan revolution.

Vegan Nation was first published in 2009. It didn’t come to my attention for two more years, and after reading it in 2011, I felt it never received the distribution and attention it deserved. I contacted Rick Bogle about doing this formal re-release, giving it some global distribution and a bigger push to a wider audience.

With a new layout and formatting, this edition is slated for a May 1st release. We’re now accepting pre-orders through the Warcry Communications website.

From the annotation:

“Underground: The A.L.F. in the 1990s” book has arrived

Posted | 1 comment

Ten months in the making, the Animal Liberation Front history book Underground is published

After months of scanning, laying out, editing, polishing, and re-polishing, the Underground book is finished, printed, and ready to ship. Underground is 500+ pages of history, interviews, how-to articles, and essays on and by the Animal Liberation Front.

Underground: The Animal Liberation Front in the 1990s compiles the rare first 15 issues of Underground, the magazine of the North American Animal Liberation Front Supporters Group. At over 500 pages, this huge compilation offers the most comprehensive look available on the Animal Liberation Front at the end of the 20th century.

Order Underground here.

I picked up Underground #3 at my first animal rights group meeting in Seattle in 1996. The tactics and ideas I was introduced to in that issue would go on to affect the rest of my life, and of many others who read Underground in the 1990s.  I can’t overstate how meaningful this book is to me personally, and how valuable I think its message is.

Much of the history and articles in this book was never seen outside the pages of Underground.

Underground: Upcoming Book on the A.L.F. in the 1990s

Posted | 0 comments

Taking pre-orders for Underground: new 500+ page book of A.L.F. history

Just weeks after the Rod Coronado book came back from the printer, we are putting final touches on the next book. Underground: The Animal Liberation Front in the 1990s is a collection of the rare first 15 issues of Underground, “the official magazine of the Animal Liberation Front Supporters Group”. For most of the 1990s, Underground proudly celebrated and reported on the work of the A.L.F. Nearly every issue is brought together for the first time in one massive volume of A.L.F. history.

View the table of contents.

Here’s a sample of what’s inside:

*A.L.F. interviews
*A.L.F. action reports
*Essays by Rod Coronado, Jonathan Paul, and other convicted members of the A.L.F.
*Anonymous “how it was done” accounts of landmark A.L.F. raids
*Detailed info on A.L.F. rescue and sabotage tactics
*Over 500 pages of Animal Liberation Front history

After a series of zines and four books, this is the biggest project yet from Warcry Communications. This book was a huge undertaking. Between tracking down someone with a complete set of every issue, to fixing the over 500 raw scans of the originals page by page, dozens and dozens of hours went into this collection seeing the light.

The files are at the printer. We’re awaiting the proof copy, and if everything looks good the book will be out June 15th.

Pre-order the 518-page Underground book here.

Announcing the Reprint of Flaming Arrows by Rod Coronado

Posted | 0 comments

Flaming Arrows, a collection of writings by Rod Coronado, is back in print with 17 additional pages

Of the four books Warcry Publishing has released so far, this is the only one I’ve read cover to cover over 10 times.  There is no way to capture how important this book is, and how fortunate I feel to have a hand in bringing it back in print.  For now I will just say:

*The book is back from the printer.

*It has 17 additional pages of writing not included in the original

*Half the profits are going to Rod Coronado to help with his post-prison life

*It is mandatory reading.

Go here to buy.

Flaming Arrows includes:

*First hand accounts of A.L.F. raids on animal research labs
*How Rod Coronado sank two whaling ships
*A detailed narrative on the A.L.F.’s “Operation Bite Back”
*Letters from prison

And much more.

There were some obstacles along the way to this seeing print, including spending months fruitlessly attempting to track down the original files before piecing the book back together from scratch. But we made it and Flaming Arrows is back in print.

The book is available many places online, including the Animal Liberation Front-line store. Or save us a trip the post office and order from Powells, Amazon, or a dozen other online booksellers.

Here are the stats:

138 pages.
ISBN: 0984284451
Dimensions: 9″ x 6″

For wholesale orders, view our wholesale rates.

Everyone who believes in animal liberation, indigenous autonomy, and defending this planet will benefit from the timeless writings in Flaming Arrows.

Collection of writings by Rod Coronado is back in print with 17 pages of new material

Flaming Arrows compiles selected writings by the former Animal Liberation Front prisoner.  The book, first released in 2007, has been out of print for some time. I’m happy to make these writings available to a wide audience once again.

A full announcement will be made shortly. In the meantime, pre-orders are being taken now. As a bonus, all pre-orders will receive a free copy of Animal Liberation Front: The Communiques Collection.

Pre-orders accepted here

The new edition contains 17 pages of material not included in the previous printing, including a 1996 prison letter from Rod.

From Dusk ’til Dawn: Animal Liberation History Book Released

Posted | 2 comments

From Dusk ’til Dawn: A.L.F. / animal liberation movement history book out now

I’m happy to announce the release of the revised U.S. printing of Keith Mann’s 722 page history of the animal liberation movement.

After last year’s limited U.S. pressing, I have done a layout revision  and full printing of Keith Mann’s instant animal liberation classic. Previously available only as an import for nearly $50, From Dusk ’til Dawn is now available in the U.S. at a reasonable price for the first time.

Order From Dusk ’til Dawn.

Written by former Animal Liberation Front organizer Keith Mann, From Dusk ’til Dawn is a detailed account of the advance of the radical Animal Liberation Movement, from the English hunt saboteurs of the 1960’s, to the Animal Liberation Front of the 1970’s and 80’s, to the focused direct action campaigns of the 1990’s. Daring stories of masked liberators spiriting animals from labs in the middle of the night, militant vegans firebombing egg farm trucks, and the dramatic government response.

Fifteen years in the making, From Dusk ’til Dawn was born during Keith Mann’s lengthy prison sentence for Animal Liberation Front actions. His escape from custody in 1994 nearly scuppered the project but his determination to document the growth of the animal liberation movement ensured its completion. From Dusk ’til Dawn is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand why people break the law and give their lives to rescue animals from exploitation.
