192pp. On October 20, 1981, a group of armed robbers tried to pull off 'the big dance'- the code name they gave to a planned armed robbery from a Brink's truck in Nyack, New York. The job was botched: two police officers and a Brink's guard were killed and several men and women were captured. The best known was Kathy Boudin, a passionate and fiery rebel of the 60s and the most prominent political fugitive still at large. Also the story of her family and background. How a woman who had everything going for her wound up as a tragic desperado on trial for many counts of murder, robbery and assault. A very nice copy.
