The Ratcatcher

When Adam Newman arrived in Germany in the summer of 1971, he thought he was going to teach English. Caught up in the CIA-orchestrated sexualization of German culture and the violent reaction it caused, Newman went from being a teacher, to being a rock star, to being a terrorist with the Baader-Meinhof Gang. After gang members Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof, Gudrun Ensslin, and Holger Meins were apprehended, Newman collaborated with El Fatah and what was left of the Rote Armee Fraktion in a daring plan that would either get the prisoners released or decapitate the Federal Republic by blowing up the financial and political elites held hostage at a remote castle on the lower Rhein. In a book that could be subtitled The Education of Adam Newman, Newman learns what it means to be an American involved in the first significant post-World War II uprising against the American Empire. He learns how politics is sexual. He learns that Americans are not innocent and Germans not guilty. He learns more than he taught.
