“Finally, a serious look at the latest liberation movement from an historical, philosophical and activist perspective. . . . A must read for anyone concerned about the future of the movement for animal liberation. – Michael Gregor, M.D.

The first anthology of writings on the history, ethics, politics and tactics of the Animal Liberation Front, Terrorists or Freedom Fighters: Reflections on the Liberation of Animals joins academic and activist perspectives to offer powerful insights into this international organization. From Thomas Aquinas to the Patriot Act – plus personal experience – the contributors explore the history of civil disobedience and sabotage and examine the meaning of words like “terrorism,” “democracy” and “freedom.” Contributors include UPC President Karen Davis, Steve Best, Pattrice Jones, Rod Coronado, Kevin Jonas, Judith Barad, Maxwell Schnurer, Tom Regan, Ingrid Newkirk, Anthony Nocella, Karen Dawn, and more!
