Days Of Rage by Bryan Burrough
America's Radical Underground, the FBI, and the Forgotten Age of Revolutionary Violence
A gripping narrative history of America’s violent radical underground in the late 1960s and 1970s, tracing how antiwar fury and racial tensions produced small, ideologically driven groups—such as the Weather Underground and the Symbionese Liberation Army—that turned to bombings, bank robberies, kidnappings and murder in pursuit of revolution. It follows the militants’ origins, spectacular crimes, fracturing and disappearance into hiding or prison, and the FBI’s aggressive countermeasures, exposing the moral ambiguities and human costs on both sides while showing how the era remade law enforcement and politics. Drawing on archival records, interviews and courtroom reporting, the book captures a chaotic, consequential chapter of modern American history.
