about
Brigate Rosse (Red Brigades):
This volume presents a tightly curated selection of primary documents from the Brigate Rosse, situating the organization within the upheavals of late-1960s and 1970s Italy.
Drawing from communiqués, strategic writings, and prison texts, the collection follows the group’s trajectory from its roots in factory and student struggles to its evolution into a clandestine armed formation. These documents reveal how the organization attempted to define its role, justify escalation, and sustain internal coherence under mounting repression—while also exposing the narrowing of its strategic horizon and the growing distance between organization and mass base.
