Reviews

"Even after all this time, Carr's book remains the best introduction to the culture and movement that gave birth to The Angry Brigade. Until all the participant's documents and voices are gathered in one place, this will remain THE gripping, readable and reliable account of those days. It is essential reading and PM Press are to be congratulated for making it available to us."
--Barry Pateman, Associate Editor, The Emma Goldman Papers, University of California at Berkeley
