Jake Prescott, a former member of the Angry Brigade, recounts the group's bombing campaign that began in 1970. Targets included the Miss World contest and a Ford motor factory, reflecting a mix of political and cultural dissent. After a two-year investigation by the Special Branch, eight suspects were arrested. The subsequent trial became the longest in British criminal history, resulting in the conviction of four young graduates.
