My Revolutions by Hari Kunzru

On the eve of his fiftieth birthday, a man living under an assumed name is confronted by a figure from his past, forcing him to revisit his years as a British radical in the late 1960s and 70s. As the narrative shifts between present and past, it traces his evolution from idealistic student to underground militant, the violence he rationalized, and the betrayals that shaped him. What emerges is a tense meditation on identity, guilt, and the enduring consequences of political zeal.
