I found it was better to fight, always, no matter what.
—Andrea Dworkin
Before we started writing this book, the three authors—Aric, Lierre, and Derrick—decided to divide the material we wanted to cover among ourselves, so that every chapter would have one main author. The “I” in each chapter refers to the person responsible for writing it. The chapters conclude with Derrick’s answers to questions he is frequently asked on the subject of resistance.
