Anthony Thorne Wrote:Some important reviews in the front of the volume (visible in the Amazon preview - I've highlighted two below). This looks like a credible work and one to get, for sure. Colin Ross (author of THE CIA DOCTORS) and Douglas Valentine are thanked in the front, and Schreiber notes that Dick Russell gave him a deep, useful trove of papers, articles and unredacted interviews from the period. From memory I think Mae Brussell also viewed the Hearst kidnapping as a CIA op.

"Revolution's End is a stunning and chilling expose of one of the most bizarre political chapters in my lifetime - the rise of the Symbionese Liberation Army and the kidnapping of bad-girl heiress Patty Hearst. Brad Schreiber presents a compelling new case that the SLA was a creation of the police state to infiltrate, subvert and destroy the growing radical movements of the period." - David Talbot
"Revolution's End is a gripping read - a persuasive, well-researched and detailed interpretation of what is known about the SLA kidnapping of Patty Hearst." - Peter Dale Scott
Yes, Mae felt strongly that the SLA and the Hearst kidnapping was a Deep Political Op, and she spoke and wrote about it extensively, as did John Judge later.
Those are two heavy positive reviewers!
