| Summary |
The first in a two-volume series, this is by far the most in-depth political history of the Red Army Faction ever made available in English. "Projectiles for the People "starts its story in the days following World War II, showing how American imperialism worked hand in glove with the old pro-Nazi ruling class, shaping West Germany into an authoritarian anti-communist bulwark and launching pad for its aggression against Third World nations. The volume also recounts the opposition that emerged from intellectuals, communists, independent leftists, and then- explosively- the radical student movement and countercultural revolt of the 1960s. |
