Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 2025 - The Revolutionists: The Story of the Extremists Who Hijacked the 1970s by Jason Burke
In the 1970s, a network of radical extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Drawing on decades of research, recently declassified government files, secret documents, and original interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us into the lives and minds of the perpetrators of these often-deadly operations.
Set against the backdrop of the Cold War and packed with revelations about iconic events such as the deadly attack on the Munich Olympic, Israel’s raid on Entebbe, the Iranian revolution and the rise of Islamic extremism, this is a sweeping, scrupulously reported historical narrative with the pace and suspense of a thriller.
