Unintended Consequences

John Ross

Accurate Press, MO. 1996. Sixth printing hardcover in dust jacket. A one inch tear on the cover dust jacket and some slight staining along the outer edge of the text block. An excellent copy.

To best summarize the notoriety of Unintended Consequences, see the quote below from Timothy McVeigh:

If people say The Turner Diaries was my Bible, Unintended Consequences would be my New Testament. I think Unintended Consequences is a better book. It might have changed my whole plan of operation if I'd read that one first.

Published in an edition of approximately 60,000 over several printings in 1996, Unintended Consequences is a magisterial overview of the history of America's relationship with the gun. Following protagonist Henry Bowman as he navigates a wicked trap set by the ATF and the FBI, this book combines an incredible attention to historic veracity, with a Clancy-esque narrative erupting into full bore internal revolution.

From the Author's Note:

Today in America, honest, successful, talented, productive, motivated people are once again being stripped of their freedom and dignity and having their noses rubbed in it. The conflict has been building for over half a century, and once again warning flags are frantically waving while the instigators rush headlong towards the abyss, and their doom."
