In an attempt to deliver on this promise, the George Jackson Brigade launched a violent three-year campaign in the mid-1970's against corporate and state institutions in the Pacific Northwest. This campaign, conceived by a group of blacks and whites, both straight and gay, claimed fourteen bombings, as many bank robberies, and a jailbreak. Drawing on extensive interviews with surviving members of the George Jackson Brigade, Guerrilla USA provides an inside-out perspective on the social movements of the 1970's, revealing the whole era in a new and more complex light. It is also a compelling exploration of the true nature of crime and a provocative meditation on the tension between self-restraint and anger in the process of social change.GuerrillasUnited StatesHistory20th century1970s.american history.anarchism.anger.anti corporations.anti state institutions.anticapitalist underground.bank robberies.bombers.bombings.crime.criminals outlaws.discussion books.engaging.george jackson brigade.imprisonment.insider perspective.intense.interviews.jailbreak.modern history.nonfiction.pacific northwest.page turner.revolt.revolutionary extremism.social change.social movements.terrorism.true crime.united states.violence.war.GuerrillasHistory322.4/20973Burton-Rose Daniel1464053MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781130003321Guerrilla USA3673609UNINA
