As the author of the original publication some 30 plus years ago, it is appropriate for me to comment. The Anarchist Cookbook was written during and part of soon after I graduated from high school. At the time, I was 19 years old and the Vietnam War and the so-called "counter culture movement" were at their height. I was involved in the anti-war movement and attended numerous peace rallies and demonstrations.
