This is an interesting history, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did Burrough's other crime/FBI book Public Enemies. As with Public Enemies, this book is exhaustively researched, and Burroughs does a nice job of guiding readers through a lot of overlapping, potentially confusing history. At times, though, Burroughs' disdain for the revolutionaries/terrorists (depending on your POV) he is writing about sometimes came through too clearly for my taste, which made me distrust some of what he was telling me. (I'd be interested to read what those he interviewed think about how they've been represented here.)
