We just finished Days of Rage by Bryan Burrough, and wow… what a ride.

This book takes you straight into the chaotic, angry heart of the American underground in the late 60s and 70s. It’s not a dry history lesson. It’s raw. It’s messy. It’s full of young people who looked at the world — the war, the racism, the lies — and decided they weren’t going to sit quietly anymore.

What hit us hardest:

– How fast things escalated. One minute it’s peaceful protests, the next it’s bombings and shootouts.

– The idealism mixed with pure rage. These weren’t cartoon villains. They were kids who believed they could actually change the system… and were willing to burn it down to try.

– The Weather Underground especially. Their story is wild — going underground, living double lives, planting bombs while trying (and often failing) to avoid hurting people.

– The cost. So many lives shattered. So many dreams turned to ash. You feel the weight of it on every page.

We didn’t agree with everything they did. Violence is complicated, and a lot of it feels pointless in hindsight. But we get the anger. We get the feeling that the system was rigged, that peaceful words weren’t enough, that something had to break.

Reading it together made us talk for hours. About how far we’d go for what we believe. About how easy it is to lose yourself when you’re fighting something bigger than you. About how important it is to stay human even when you’re furious.

If you want a comfortable, safe history book — this isn’t it.

If you want something that makes you think, argue, and feel the fire of a generation that refused to stay quiet… then Days of Rage is worth every page.

We’re glad we read it.

We’re even gladder we read it together.

What about you? Have you read it? What did you think?

forever yours (still talking about it at 2 a.m.),
