Days of Rage by Bryan Burrough5/12/2023 Drawing on interviews about their experiences with members of the underground & the FBI, Days of Rage is a look into the hearts & minds of homegrown terrorists & federal agents alike, weaving their stories into a secret history of the '70s.īryan Burrough joined Vanity Fair in August 1992 and has been a special correspondent for the magazine since January 1995. But Squad 47 itself broke laws in its attempts to bring the revolutionaries to justice. The FBI’s response included the formation of a secret task force, Squad 47, dedicated to hunting the groups down. Burrough's Days of Rage recreates an atmosphere almost unbelievable decades later, conjuring a time of native-born radicals, often nice middle-class kids, smuggling bombs into skyscrapers & detonating them inside the Pentagon & the Capitol, at a Boston courthouse & a Wall Street restaurant. The FBI combated these & other groups as nodes of a single revolutionary underground dedicated to the violent overthrow of the USA. From the bestselling author of Public Enemies & The Big Rich, 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.
