William Powell
Born in 1949
William Powell is an American writer best known for "The Anarchist Cookbook," published in 1971.
He has since denounced the book, calling it misguided and potentially dangerous, and requesting its discontinuation.
Powell wrote the book at age 19, motivated by anger over the Vietnam War draft.
He later became a teacher and changed his views on violence as a means of political change.
Currently, Powell is co-director of Education Across Frontiers, an organization focused on international education.
He has authored several books on this subject, reflecting his shift from anarchist ideals to educational pursuits.
