Days of Rage: America's Radical Underground, the FBI, and the Forgotten Age of . . (Bryan Burrough)

A unique history of an episode that has been deliberately memory-holed: the massive Left violence in the 1970s, directed at catalyzing a revolution in America. And, as always, what that history means for today.

"Never in history has targeted violence by individuals or small groups, killings and bombings, what the Russians once called “propaganda of the deed,” ever led to the replacement of a governing system, or even triggered significant societal change. Yet for the Left such acts have proved irresistible since the mid-nineteenth century. In keeping with this history, during the 1970s the American Left engaged in vast amounts of murderous violence, setting off two thousand bombs in 1972 alone, all with the aim of triggering revolutionary change in America. Why, though, given that this tactic never works to catalyze political change? Today we will explore that question." . . .
