The FBI & the Weather Underground

Arthur Eckstein spent years reading declassified documents from the FBI about its investigation into the radical 1970’s revolutionary group the Weather Underground.  He joins us for the hour to talk about what he found and to retell this story that includes bombings of the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, and the State Department.
Guest: Arthur M. Eckstein, professor of history at the University of Maryland, College Park and author of the book Bad Moon Rising: How the Weather Underground Beat the FBI and Lost the Revolution.
