Direct Action: Memoirs of an Urban Guerrilla

Summary: Laughable bio of spoiled brat "terrorist"
Review: This book was so bad I couldn't finish it. It starts out with the author - another spoiled brat from the middle class - becoming a "revolutionary" and seeking the Red Army in Europe circa late 1970's. How does she make her contacts? By lying down and allowing herself to be raped to get the information. The book is all downhill from there. Less a memoir of a former radical turned yuppie crying out for redemption, this is a cry for help from a deeply disturbed, hypocritical woman who simply found more of her kind and decided to blow things up, maiming innocent people in the process. A great how-to primer on being one of society's complete losers.
