Book Launch: The Red Brigades
Join John Foot at bookhaus as he launches his latest book The Red Brigades: The Terrorists who Brought Italy to its Knees.
Tickets cost £6 and include a glass of wine or a soft drink, and £3 off the book.
Through meticulous research, Foot uncovers the true story behind the myths that have grown around the Red Brigades, highlighting the human costs of their actions, as well as their impact on Italian society. He explains how the contradictions inherent in their actions eventually led to their downfall in a series of high-profile mass trials. The Red Brigades sheds new light on the shadowy world of the brigatisti, and highlights their legacy of conspiracy, distrust and bitterness that still lingers in Italy to this day.
