<br/><br/> One of the most controversial questions in Italy today concerns the origins of the political terror that ravaged the country from 1969 to 1984. In this study of how an ideology of terror becomes rooted in society, Richard Drake explains the historical character of the revolutionary tradition to which so many ordinary Italians professed allegiance.
