Prefacing this review, by saying that Kersplebedeb does the movements and historians an absolute service by continuing to publish books like this. These documents provide a rare window into the 1978 campaign of the Red Brigades, and make available the documents of the campaign, the theoretical foundation of the RB, and their replies to their critics, from within the ruling class and the opposition movements. Combined with 'strike one to educate hundreds', there is an in depth history of the RB.
Although this is well footnooted, and has a thoughtful introduction, it's not a narrative history (instead being all primary source documents), and unless the reader is already familiar with the events of 78, will require a fair amount of outside research.
