, an?account of the battle between the FBI & revolutionary movements of the '70s: Weathermen, The Symbionese Liberation?Army, The FALN, The Black Liberation Army.?The names seem quaint now, but then bombings by domestic underground groups were daily occurrences. The FBI combated these & other groups as nodes of a?single revolutionary underground dedicated to the?violent overthrow of the USA.
