An astonishing window not just into the origins of modern terrorism but also into our own age' RORY STEWART‘Extraordinary … told with cool authority and a novelist's eye for detail' RORY CARROLL, author of Killing ThatcherIn the 1970s, a network of extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the glamorous Leila Khaled, hard-drinking Carlos the Jackal, and radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang. United by their hatred of Israel, capitalism and ‘Western imperialism’, they unleashed a series of audacious attacks that brought governments to their knees and glued the world to their tv screens.Drawing on decades of research, recently declassified government files, secret documents, and first-hand interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us inside these often-deadly operations. Through the perpetrators’ eyes – and of the unrelenting agents who hunted them down – he uncovers a dark, complex world of loyalty, betrayal and commitment to change at any cost.Pitching us into these tumultuous times, The Revolutionists reveals how a campaign led by secular leftist revolutionaries gave way to a far more lethal movement of conservative religious fanaticism that would dominate the decades to come. It is impossible to understand the world today without reading this book.'A book that historians will be profiting from for many decades to come' TOM HOLLAND‘As compelling as the best of spy thrillers’ FERGAL KEANE, BBC Correspondent and author of The Madness'Riveting' LINDSEY HILSUM, International Editor, Channel 4 News
