Download or read book How to Blow Up a Pipeline written by Andreas Malm and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Property will cost us the earth The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest? In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse. We need, he argues, to force fossil fuel extraction to stop--with our actions, with our bodies, and by defusing and destroying its tools. We need, in short, to start blowing up some oil pipelines. Offering a counter-history of how mass popular change has occurred, from the democratic revolutions overthrowing dictators to the movement against apartheid and for women's suffrage, Malm argues that the strategic acceptance of property destruction and violence has been the only route for revolutionary change. In a braided narrative that moves from the forests of Germany and the streets of London to the deserts of Iraq, Malm offers us an incisive discussion of the politics and ethics of pacifism and violence, democracy and social change, strategy and tactics, and a movement compelled by both the heart and the mind. Here is how we fight in a world on fire.

Download or read book Atrocity written by Walter Ronaghan and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the final months of active U.S. military involvement in Vietnam, the Pentagon already has one foot out the door. While entire units are being pulled out, the soldiers left behind are forced to fight a war their country no longer supports. Morale is at an all time low among the troops, many of whom are reluctant draftees. Rampant drug abuse, dereliction of duty and "fragging" have become commonplace. Most soldiers are marking time, avoiding conflict in hope of living long enough to see home again. But one man isn't ready to give up the fight. Lieutenant Steven Colter has a thirst for NVA blood, and forms a Recon unit to quench that thirst. An elite tactical unit comprised of the battalion's best men, Recon beats the enemy at their own game, using guerilla warfare to produce impressive body counts. Recon does what it takes to win, ignoring the Geneva Convention when it gets in the way. But as the war winds down, the conflict on the battlefield and the conflict between right and wrong blur into one, building to a tragic climax with moral implications as relevant today as they were in 1971.
