Anarchy in the U.K.: The Angry Brigade

Tom Vague

Germany spawned the Red Army Faction; Italy, the Red Brigades; France, Action Directe; the United States, the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army… Britain had the Angry Brigade. Much more than a small group of individuals, the Angry Brigade was a movement that challenged reaction and state power in all its forms. Part of a general European resistance movement, its was an armed offensive grounded in substantial popular support. No leaders, do it yourself… Here, in Tom Vague’s notorious, barbed, pop-culture style, is the story of Britain’s premier revolutionary hooligans. Draws extensively on the Angry Brigade’s communiqués, along with both the underground/countercultural and mainstream press of the late ‘60s through the early ‘70s, and police and court documents. AK
