- Description
- In 1970 Ulrike Meinhof abandoned a career as a political journalist to join the Red Army Faction. In an effort to understand how terrorism takes root, the author seeks a dispassionate view of Meinhof and a period when West Germany was declaring its own ‘war on terror’. Ulrike Meinhof always remained a writer, and this book focuses on the role of language in her development and that of the RAF.
