The Baader-Meinhof Complex

Brilliantly researched, expertly narrated - the standard work on the history of the RAF is now available as an audiobook for the first time.

Stefan Aust's book is neither an indictment nor a defense plea; it is also not a judgment, neither in legal nor moral terms. It aims to be a protocol, a chronicle of events from June 1967, when student Benno Ohnesorg was shot by a police officer, to the German Autumn of 1977, which includes the kidnapping and later murder of employers' president Hanns Martin Schleyer, the hijacking and rescue of passengers and crew from the Lufthansa plane Landshut, and the suicides in the high-security wing of Stammheim.

More detailed and explosive than ever: A wealth of new facts, largely brought to light through Aust's meticulous research, makes this new edition both possible and necessary. The author evaluates a multitude of newly discovered and recently released investigation files, as well as private records and testimonies from eyewitnesses.

Including a feature with interviews and original sounds that Stefan Aust has compiled specifically for this audiobook. An unparalleled historical document.
