It's about the anarchist strategy of armed agitation, its roots, and its impact on armed groups from the Red Brigades to the Tupamaros.

What a joy to get up to #49 on the list of bird species I've identified around where I live, with the blauet, Alcedo atthis, common kingfisher in English. One of these distinctive birds plunged into the river and shook itself dry on a branch as I walked by.
