Description
Book SynopsisIn the mid-1970s, a long wave of contentious radicalism swept through Italy: ''Proletarian youth'', ''metropolitan Indians'', ''the area of Autonomy''... For the first time in English, Phil Edwards has told the story of a unique and fascinating group of political movements, and of their disastrous engagement with the mainstream Left.
