Description
Bandits is a study of social bandits and outlaws who are celebrated for their exploits rather than simply viewed as criminals. From Balkan haiduks to Indian dacoits, these figures have been immortalized in stories and myths.
First published in 1969, this book inspired a new field of historical study: bandit history. This revised edition appears at a time when the disintegration of state power has led to a resurgence of banditry in many parts of the world.
The book explores the complex social and political factors that give rise to these figures, and how they have been perceived by different cultures throughout history.
