{"product_id":"the-revolutionists","title":"The Revolutionists","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1970s, a network of extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the glamorous Leila Khaled, hard-drinking Carlos the Jackal, and radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnited by their hatred of Israel, capitalism and Western imperialism , they unleashed a series of audacious attacks that brought governments to their knees and glued the world to their tv screens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on decades of research, recently declassified government files, secret documents, and first-hand interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us inside these often-deadly operations. Through the perpetrators eyes and of the unrelenting agents who hunted them down he uncovers a dark, complex world of loyalty, betrayal and commitment to change at any cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePitching us into these tumultuous times, The Revolutionists reveals how a campaign led by secular leftist revolutionaries gave way to a far more lethal movement of conservative religious fanaticism that would dominate the decades to come. It is impossible to understand the world today without reading this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Oversize Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished: 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Vintage Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 735\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN 10: 184792607X\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN 13: 9781847926074\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jason Burke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52928100204810,"sku":null,"price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781847926074.jpg?v=1777022809","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-revolutionists","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
