War at Home: Covert Action Against U.S. Activists and What We Can Do About It

About this record

Brian Glick's 1989 South End Press handbook on FBI/COINTELPRO-style covert action against U.S. social movements, written for movement participants. Combines a historical synthesis of COINTELPRO and its successors with concrete advice for activists on recognizing infiltrators and provocateurs, defending against grand juries, protecting communications, supporting political prisoners, and surviving state-repression cycles. A standard movement security-culture reference cited by every generation of U.S. activist trainers since publication.
