"The government has declared a vicious class war. Our group has started to fight back . . . with bombs." Against a backdrop of high unemployment and the deregulated economy of 1970s Britain, a young urban guerrilla group mobilizes: The Angry Brigade. Their targets: members of parliament, embassies, police, pageant queens. An uprising has begun and no one is exempt. As a special police squad hunt the home-grown terrorists whose identities rocked the foundation of the oldest empire on earth, James Graham's heart-stopping and darkly comic thriller lures us into a frenzied world that looks much like our own.
