How It All Began: A Personal Account of a West German Urban Guerrilla
Vancouver, Canada: Pulp Press, 2002. 2nd, Updated Edition. 131, wraps, illus., footnotes, spine reinforced with clear tape. With statements by Heinrich Boll and Caniel Cohn-Bendit. This book is the personal testimony of a man who, in the late sixties and early seventies, was a member of the June 2nd Movement, one of the most spectacular urban guerrilla organizations in West Berlin. The original German edition of thisbook was seized when it was first published in 1975. The resulting trial and publicity raised an international outcry and the book ended up being republished in German and translated into six languages. In an age when public protests--against corporate greed, against free trade agreements, and for social justice--are becoming more frequent and more violent, How It All Began provides a fascinating glimpse into the thinking behind urban struggle, and the consequences of action. Condition: good.
