Summary:

""America's Forgotten Terrorists" tells the story of a movement that nearly anticipated the era that America is currently in and what varying types of terrorism have looked like from the early twentieth century to our current state"--
"Though largely forgotten today, one of the most destructive terrorist groups in the United States was the Galleanists, a fiery band of Italian anarchists active during the early 1900s. In America’s Forgotten Terrorists, Jeffrey D. Simon shows how alienation and frustration among segments of a community were transformed into a militant extremist movement." --
