4.0

While the author’s political biases are often on full display, his research is deep and the scope of the book is wide. There was a great deal about the radical underground movement that began in the 1960’s that I learned for the first time in Days of Rage. Highly recommend it anyone looking to learn more about this often overlooked chapter in American political history.
