While the mass violence in 1960s America is only a backdrop for his portraits of pseudo-revolutionary groups active through the 1970s and into the 1980s, Bryan Burrough sees the violent black rhetoric of the 1960s as a galvanizing force for those who became the radical underground. The groups dissected in his Days of Rage, a massive book of 548 pages of narrative text, were often dismissed as "loony leftists." Today, they are mostly forgotten, but Burrough resurrects them from the dustbin of history at an extraordinary level of detail. These domestic terrorists loved Marxist rhetoric, but their tactics were closer to those of earlier American anarchists. Burrough's groups and a handful of others detonated thousands of bombs from New York to Chicago to San Francisco and in between in their attempts to destabilize American life.
