It resulted in the death of a brilliant young physicist~a man, ironically, sympathetic to the cause that destroyed him. But beyond its material effects, the bombing of the University of Wisconsin's Army Mathematics Research Center at Madison in August 1970 served, as George Will has described it, as "the Hiroshima of the New Left," for the subsequent government crackdown signaled the end of a decade of radical strivings and the maturation of a generation that had made its goal the struggle lor peace. The bombing was in fact only the climax of an astonishing story~the story of "the perfect American city" that became, for one year, the scene of guerrilla warfare~the story of a small conspiracy that took upon itself the responsibility for bringing to an end the long, bloody conflict in Vietnam. Rads is the story of the war at home as it was fought in Madison, Wisconsin, in the late sixties, and of how it came to a cataclysmic end. In Rads journalist Tom Bates unravels the remarkable sequence of events that led to the Madison bombing through the life of the man who was ultimately convicted of the crime, Karl Armstrong. Rads is first and foremost Karl Armstrong's story~an account of idealism in America's heartland, of a man from a working~class family, who became radicalized in the cauldron ot leftist politics that had transformed his hometown into a virtual war zone. By tracing Armstrong's progression from a dedicated ROTC cadet to a committed radical, Bates gives us a vivid, compelling, and definitive history of the sixties, of its passions and follies, of how its quest for peace turned into a dangerous flirtation with violence. Rads takes us to SDS meetings and FBI conferences, to faculty debates and the basement of the fraternity house where Karl began assembling the bombs that would shock the campus, to the thrilling manhunt that would lead to the fugitive Karl's apprehension in Toronto eighteen months after the Army Math bombing. Along with Karl himself, we meet an extraordinary cast of characters, from revolutionary professors to United States presidents; from FBI "sedition men" to the co~conspirators in the notorious "New Year's Gang": Karl's dissolute brother, Dwight; Leo Burt, a jock who could no longer endure the ravages the war had wreaked in Madison; and David Fine, a radical who joined Karl's crusade less out of passion than principle. Although it is history that is only twenty years old, Rads recounts an almost inconceivable conflation of values, political ideals, and naivete, and violence that had become all but inevitable. A stunning account of one of the most remarkable periods in our history, it stands to be regarded as one of the classic narratives of the betrayal of the American Dream.

DESCRIPTION - An account of the 1970 bombing of the Army Math Research Center at the University of Wisconsin sheds light on the event while also chronicling the anti-war movement. Bates was on the Wisconsin campus as a graduate student at the time of the bombing, and two years later would be fired from his first teaching position for protesting the Vietnam War. The book details events and politics of the 1960s leading up to the bombing, which killed a young postdoctoral researcher and caused $6 million in damage to 26 campus buildings. Three men, Karl and Dwight Armstrong and David Fine, were captured and served prison sentences. The fourth, Leo Burt, has not been seen in 29 years. A Times book reviewer, Elinor Langer, concluded that Bates' book was a braided narrative that is part biography and part true crime. The Sterling Hall Bombing that occurred on the University of Wisconsin Madison campus on August 24, 1970 was committed by four young people as a protest against the University's research connections with the US military during the Vietnam War. It resulted in the death of a university physics researcher and injuries to three others. The bombers were Karleton Armstrong, Dwight Armstrong, David Fine, and Leo Burt. They called themselves the New Year's Gang, a name which was derived from a previous exploit from New Year's Eve 1969. Before the Sterling Hall bombing, Karl committed several other acts of terrorism, including arson attacks on ROTC installation at the Red Gym and one meant for the state Selective Service headquarters which instead hit the UW Primate Research Center. Karl also attempted to plant explosives at the Prairie du Sac electric substation which supplied power to the ammunition plant, but was frightened off by the night watchman. inventory #25294 Very Good in Dustjacket.Remainder Mark.

Bates, was a former senior editor of the Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine. In his 1992 book, "Rads: The 1970 Bombing of the Army Math Research Center at the University of Wisconsin and Its Aftermath," Bates wrote about history as he had experienced it. He was on the Wisconsin campus as a graduate student at the time of the bombing, and two years later would be fired from his first teaching position for protesting the Vietnam War. The book details events and politics of the 1960s leading up to the bombing, which killed a young postdoctoral researcher and caused $6 million in damage to 26 campus buildings. Three men, Karl and Dwight Armstrong and David Fine, were captured and served prison sentences. The fourth, Leo Burt, has not been seen in 29 years.
