Summary
A narrative history of the radical underground groups that waged a violent campaign across America in the 1970s, including the Weather Underground, the Symbionese Liberation Army, and the Black Liberation Army. Burrough chronicles the bombings, robberies, and prison breaks carried out by these organizations and the FBI's efforts to stop them. The book argues that this era of domestic terrorism has been largely forgotten in American memory.
