New York: Seabury Press, (1973) dj. Hardcover first edition - A significant but surprisingly hard to find book, which describes movements throughout American history in which ordinary citizens, dissatisfied with the established system (or lack of it) have taken law and order into their own hands - from historical examples like the Salem witch trials to gold rush California through the Ku Klux Klan and modern examples like the Black Panthers. The epilogue notes that few institutions seem to have as bright a future in the US as vigilantism - a comment which is even more true now than it was at time this book was written.
