I've put together a book (http://www.radio4all.org/aia/) that is a compendium of anarchist/activist methods skills and tactics. It covers everything from decisionmaking, direct action, fundraising, and security -- and much more. Just about everything contained in it was found on the
web; the idea behind making this book was to put all this useful information in one place.
