Summary: Not Very Impressive.
Comment: The book was a quick overview of the Red Army Faction and the events that took place during their existence. If this book is truly factual, then I am not impressed with Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, nor am I in agreement with their philosophy. It is almost like they did not have a well-planned mission to fight against the "powers that be." The Baader-Meinhoff Gang thought that if they terrorized the capitalists, others would rise up and join them in the fight, but this will not happen unless the People are organized. The idea that I get from this book is that the RAF members had to find some meaning in their lives, so they decided to become terrorists. If you desire to find a country that dislikes communism more than the United States, go to Germany, especially Berlin. Extreme socialism is what the RAF wanted in West Germany. Anyone in the right mind can understand why unrestricted capitalism is not a good thing, and having the United States pressing its interests in another country is wrong. Just look at Americans today, many do not like the idea of the Japanese buying out U.S. companies and making profits off of us, but terrorism is not justified for any reason. There is no way that the RAF could have survived on a long-lerm basis, they only had the support of 10% of the West German population. If you are interested in revolutions and how revolutions are won, then read about what took place in Cuba. People keep bragging about Che Guevera, but Fidel Castro was the true revolutionary, and so was Celia Sanchez.

Summary: Nothing we haven't heard before.
Comment: There is nothing new here. If you're new to the subject of theBaader-Meinhof gang, you'll get better value from "Hitler'sChildren", even with its innacuracies. This book reads as an almost edited version of that.
