Contents Summary
Former members of the Dutch radical Red Youth organization look back on their activities, violent attacks and victims in the 1970s. Thirty years on, the memories of their “red years,” which were determined by revolutionary ardor and sincere indignation over injustice, but also by adventure and recklessness, are still emotionally charged. They were prepared to fight, place bombs and use weapons. Some of them still consider the armed struggle “a technical matter.” Others, on the contrary, feel uncomfortable about the violence and the resulting victims. In the shadow of the German Rote Armee Fraktion, they carried out bomb attacks against the Vietnam War and capitalist society. When a group of them went to Yemen to take part in a Palestinian guerrilla training camp, the point of no return seemed to have been reached. Were they fit to be terrorists? And will they ever lose the stigma?
