Book Reviews of Bringing the War Home: The Weather Underground, the Red Army Faction, and Revolutionary Violence in the Sixties and Seventies

Book Review: academic
Summary: 3 Stars

Rather academic for my prol tastes (after all the author is a university prof) but readable and understandable account of the USA's Weathermen ( and women) and Germany's Red Army Faction, both groups committed to revolutionary violence and overhrow of the capitalist state. Would like to have read more in depth about the leading characters, their operations and day to day life 'underground' but the book does give an overall picture and tries to fill in the background (Nixon, Vietnam, Cold war) that set these mostly middle class and well educated youngters on their radical and violent path. A serious study, nothing tabloid or sensational.
