The Weather Underground's Unseen Side: A Memoir of Radical Upbringing Zayd Ayers Dohrn's book Dangerous, Dirty, Violent, and Young offers a rare glimpse into the tumultuous lives of radical activists in 1970s America.
As the son of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, co founders of the Weather Underground, Dohrn's memoir is an unflinching portrayal of the consequences of radical ideology on innocent civilians.
Growing up as the child of infamous activists, Dohrn was accustomed to living in constant fear. The FBI's relentless pursuit of his parents and their cohorts had become a normalized part of life.
