Strike One to Educate One Hundred |
|
| Long-rumoured to be out of print, this book
is a sympathetic appraisal of the marxist-leninist Red Brigades.
The main criticism that can be made of this impressive 200
page photocopied book is that the authors do not deal with the more
convoluted and depressing part of the Brigades’ history after
the kidnapping and killing of Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro
in 1978. Nevertheless, this book is an excellent read which could serve as an example as to how this kind of subject matter can be dealt with. Extensive attention is paid to the political context, so amongst other things Strike One provides a fascinating history of the Italian radical left in the postwar era, especially the 1960s and 1970s. I have scanned in the first two chapters of Strike One (and hope to add more in the future), for your reading pleasure. Just click the links below to read them.
