America's Forgotten Terrorists by Jeffrey D Simon
Jeffrey D. Simon tells the gripping story of the forgotten terrorist group the Galleanists, a fiery brand of Italian anarchists in the United States during the early 1900s, many of whose tactics are still used today.
"Jeffrey Simon's America's Forgotten Terrorists: The Rise and Fall of the Galleanists is an excellently analyzed and researched case study of the Galleanists, a violent extremist group of Italian anarchists who were active during the early 1900s in the United States"—Joshua Sinai, Perspectives on Terrorism
“America’s Forgotten Terrorists tells the incredible tale of the Galleanists—and tells it well. Little known today, the Galleanists made headlines a century ago with dramatic acts of terrorist violence, recounted here in fascinating and often shocking detail. In doing so, they forced Americans to confront issues of civil liberties, inequality, immigration, and state power that still resonate today.”—Beverly Gage, professor of history and American studies at Yale University and author of The Day Wall Street Exploded: A Story of America in Its First Age of Terror
“Astute and valuable. . . . Simon’s book is a long-overdue examination of the Galleanists. It is a major contribution to the field of terrorism and an indispensable research gift for future historians.”—Dennis Pluchinsky, former senior intelligence analyst in the Office of Intelligence and Threat Analysis, U.S. Department of State
“This is a fascinating and compelling story of a little-known terrorist movement in which we find wisdom to navigate the terrorism of our times.”—J. Reid Meloy, clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California–San Diego and consulting psychologist for the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit
“A fascinating, comprehensive, and important account of the first global terror the U.S. experienced, the anarchists.”—David C. Rapoport, distinguished professor emeritus at UCLA and founding and chief editor of Terrorism and Political Violence
