[edit]La Salute è in voi! was an 1900s bomb-making handbook associated with the Galleanisti, followers of anarchist Luigi Galleani in the United States. Translated as "Health Is in You!", its anonymous authors advocated for impoverished workers to commit to individual, revolutionary acts. The Italian-language handbook;s directions enabled amateurs to build explosives. Although this content was already available in other sources, La Salute è in voi included a political manifesto as well as basic chemistry and safety training. Its authors were likely Galleani and his friend Ettore Molinari, a chemist and anarchist. It was advertised in Galleani's Cronaca Sovversiva, an anarchist newspaper. In 1906. American police used the handbook to profile anarchists and imply guilt by possession, and it figured prominently in the prosecution of the 1915 Bresci Circle's failed bombing of St. Patrick's Cathedral. The idea of amateurs making bombs was impractical, as the successful political bombers were professionals. (Full article...)
