The first in a two-volume series, this is by far the most in-depth history of the Red Army Faction ever made available in English. Volume 1 presents the manifestos and communiques issued by the RAF between 1970 and 1977. The three main manifestos - The Urban Guerilla Concept, Serve the People and Black September - are all included as are important interviews with Der Spiegel and Le Monde Diplpomatique.
