The Angry Brigade : The Cause and the Case

208pp. Numerous black and white plate illustrations. In black cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on the spine (boards are strong, fresh, sharp-edge and clean, just a little rounded at spine ends). Text block edges a little flecked and dulled. Internally neat, clean and bright. Firmly bound. In its original dust jacket (gently bumped on edges, sunned on spine, a little discoloured on inner flaps). The story of the anarchic, communist militant group - known as the Angry Brigade - who were responsible for a number of bomb attacks in Britain during the early 1970s, including the bombing of the home of the then Government Minister Robert Carr. Provides the backgrounds of the middle-class students who formed the Stoke-Newington eight, the police investigation and the subsequent trial - at the time the longest ever in British legal history - of the accused.
