The Revolutionists: The Story of the Extremists Who Hijacked the 1970s
by Jason Burke
The revolutionists- an amazing,very well written book definitely worth reading. (5/22/2026)
Jason Burke’s The Revolutionists is a very gripping, deeply researched, and a very rich account of the extremist movements that shaped the 1970s. I would say that what makes the book so good is how Burke blends the historical investigation with storytelling that feels extremely immersive almost like a thriller. His decades of research, and access to some really interesting files, and interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses, and victims give the book an authority and depth that few modern histories achieve. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this, there are pictures and its very well designed in term of the cover of the book, the writing and writing style is excellent and its full of valuable information.
