Book review by Stuart Christie, The Guardian.
Sounds like a good read. I'm going to pick up a copy. The book is available on pre-order for June 15th, through Amazon.
An interesting observation from the review-
"The main story, however, is of the penetration of these groups of often naive utopians by the sinister functionaries of the secret state whose job it was to protect the status quo: the policemen and spymasters who lurked in the shadows seeding uncertainty and dissent, cultivating tensions, beguiling with deceits, and luring credulous and impressionable idealists into committing crimes they may never have otherwise conceived."
History has indeed shown that idealists and revolutionaries are often long on ideas and short on proper counter-intelligence techniques !
