Beschreibung:
Richard Drake is Professor of History, University of Montana and the author of The Revolutionary Mystique and Terrorism in Contemporary Italy (winner of the American Historical Association's Howard R. Marraro Prize).
One of the most controversial questions in Italy today concerns the origins of the political terror that ravaged the country from 1969 to 1984, when the Red Brigades, a Marxist revolutionary organization, intimidated, maimed, and murdered on a wide scale. In this timely study of the ways in which an ideology of terror becomes rooted in society, Richard Drake explains the historical character of the revolutionary tradition to which so many ordinary Italians professed allegiance, examining its origins and internal tensions, the men who shaped it, and its impact and legacy in Italy.
