In the Name of Revolution: Gun-Barrel Politics

For modern revolutionaries the world over, Cuba’s Che Guevara literally wrote the book. This program examines radical political movements in Germany, Italy, Peru, and Colombia to see how Che’s theories have fared in practice. Former gunman Peter Jürgen Boock, of the Baader-Meinhof Gang; former gunman Valerio Morucci, of the Red Brigades; a former Shining Path insurgent; and Raul Reyes, second-in-command of FARC, talk about their roles in their factions’ ideological wars. Giovanni Moro, son of the murdered Italian statesman Aldo Moro; Peruvian Truth Commission member Carlos Tapia, former leader of the United Left Front; and Peru’s Minister of Justice Fernando Olivera Vega provide additional insights.
