ISBN10: 1604860308, ISBN13: 9781604860306, [publisher: PM Press] Softcover The long-awaited second volume of the first-ever English-language study of the Red Army Faction (RAF)?West Germany?s most notorious urban guerillas?covers the period immediately following the organization?s near total decimation in 1977. During this period, the RAF was in a state of regrouping and attempting to renew its ties to the radical left in response to the emergence of a new radical youth movement in the Federal Republic, the Autonomen. This reorganization was evidenced by the shifting of focus from freeing prisoners to fighting NATO. By examining communiqu?s and texts from 1978 up until the 1982 May Paper, the broader movement is examined and the possibilities and perils of an armed underground organization are contrasted to the more fluid and flexible practice of the revolutionary cells at that time. The history of the 2nd of June Movement (2JM), an eclectic guerilla group with its roots in West Berlin, is also evaluated, especially in light of the split that led to some 2JM members officially disbanding the organization and rallying to the RAF. Finally, the RAF?s relationship to the East German Stasi is examined, as is the abortive attempt by West Germany?s liberal intelligentsia to defuse the armed struggle during Gerhard Baum?s tenure as Minister of the Interior. Dancing with Imperialism will be required reading for students of the first world guerilla, those with interest in the ...

ISBN10: 1604860308, ISBN13: 9781604860306, [publisher: PM Press, Oakland] Softcover Paperback. The first in a two-volume series, this is by far the most in-depth political history of the Red Army Faction ever made available in English. Projectiles for the People starts its story in the days following World War II, showing how American imperialism worked hand in glove with the old pro-Nazi ruling class, shaping West Germany into an authoritarian anti-communist bulwark and launching pad for its aggression against Third World nations. The volume also recounts the opposition that emerged from intellectuals, communists, independent leftists, and thenexplosivelythe radical student movement and countercultural revolt of the 1960s.It was from this revolt that the Red Army Faction emerged, an underground organization devoted to carrying out armed attacks within the Federal Republic of Germany, in the view of establishing a tradition of illegal, guerilla resistance to imperialism and state repression. Through its bombs and manifestos the RAF confronted the state with opposition at a level many activists today might find difficult to imagine.For the first time ever in English, this volume presents all of the manifestos and communiques issued by the RAF between 1970 and 1977, from Andreas Baaders prison break, through the 1972 May Offensive and the 1975 hostage-taking in Stockholm, to the desperate, and tragic, events of the German Autumn of 1977. The RAFs three main ...
