"ROAD RAGING: TOP TIPS FOR WRECKING ROADBUILDING"
ISBN: 0-9531852-0-6
This illustrated 230-page A5-format book has now been reprinted and
updated. It shares experiences of nonviolent direct action against
roadbuilding in Britain from Twyford Down in 1992 to Newbury in 1996.
It is not a coffee table history book, but a practical guide for action.
It covers a wide range of subjects, including building a campaign from
scratch, action tactics, publicity, camps, the law, bureaucrat baiting,
evictions, extensive contacts and resources, and much more!
> From reviews of the first printing.............
"The best campaign guide ever!"
- Corporate Watch Magazine
"A distillation of the experiences of hundreds of activists who cut
their teeth on the frontline. It is a developer's nightmare.....equally
applicable to an airport, a coalmine or a quarry.....from organising
meetings and writing press releases through to building tree houses and
creating hygienic camps."
- The Guardian
"The guide urges the targeting of contractors, consulting engineers,
surveyors and financiers, and has been condemned by contractors."
- Construction News
"Best value activist handbook to appear this year.....a deliciously
thick, thorough guide to all aspects of anti-roads direct action."
- Contraflow
"This book is incredibly wonderful. It is so user-friendly, with many
photos and excellent illustrations.....If you are not involved in
campaigning against the destruction of the environment at the moment, you
never know when you will be.....some day soon you may need it - so get hold
of a copy, get clued up and get to it!"
- Clean Slate (the journal of the Centre for Alternative Technology)
