Description
The Red Army Faction, a Documentary History by J. Smith and Andre Moncourt This two-volume series presents the most in-depth political history of the Red Army Faction ever made available in English. The first volume explores the events leading up to the RAF's emergence, from the aftermath of World War II to the radical student movement and countercultural revolt of the 1960s. The RAF's actions, including their bombs and manifestos, confronted the state with opposition in a way that many activists today might find difficult to imagine. The book includes all of the RAF's manifestos and communiqués issued between 1970 and 1977, as well as important interviews and court statements explaining their actions. This volume provides a comprehensive understanding of the RAF's ideology and tactics, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Red Army Faction. Through its publication, this book makes available for the first time in English the full range of the RAF's written output, offering a unique insight into the group's thought and actions.
