Days of Rage: America's Radical Underground, the FBI, and the Forgotten Age of Revolutionary Violence by Bryan Burrough
4.0
If you are looking for a sympathetic history of radical movements in the 1970s, this book is not it.
What this book is is 608 pages of information being presented by a mainstream writer for mainstream pop nonfiction readers. And Burrough does that excellently.
He can use language in his interpretation that is offensive. He does focus on misogynistic tangents here and there. But he tells us all the facts, good and bad, with only a slight cynical slant.
