This past week, former Red Brigades member Leonardo Bertulazzi was arrested in Argentina after 40 years on the run. Prompted by this news, Jamie and Sam dive into the history of this Italian Revolutionary Marxist organization, which operated in various forms from the 1970s straight into the 2000s. From kidnappings to kneecappings, robberies to bombings, the Red Brigades operated at a high level of intensity for an impressively long time. What, if anything, can we learn from these heavy hitters? Can a look into their storied history be enough to turn Jamie into a Tankie? Find out in this week's bonus episode.
