The 1970s were a tumultuous time. I wouldn't be born until the next decade, so I had no idea about much of these radical groups, where bombing was such a regular occurrence that eventually it no longer made front page news unless it killed folks. Which, I suppose, is an analogue to shootings today - the desensitization to violence.

There is a lot of information here - at times, perhaps too much. The author is a journalist so many chase scenes and such read with that dramatic flair, but at times, this could have been pared down a bit.

What's truly wild is that some of these groups were protesting things that are still an issue, nearly fifty years on - racist policies, cops targeting Black folks, prison conditions, etc.
