High Priuestess stars a Weather Underground guy who has stayed underground since the sixties. His radical past catches up with him, and there ate flashbacks to those days in the book.

Hey, thanks guys. My husband has a big stack he's winding his way through. Borders must be very grateful. (We have no indies around here.)

This would be a little later in the seventies, but what about Susan Choi's American <br />
Woman? It deals with the Symbionese Liberation Army and kidnapping of <br />
Patty Hearst.

Paul Theroux's Mosquito Coast dealt with an off-the-rails environmentalist, a product of the back to the earth movement taken to extremes. <br />

Second the mention of EAT THE DOCUMENT, which is brilliant. And though it's more mid-70s, Christopher Sorrentino's TRANCE (about the SLA and Patty Hearst) is worth a look, too.

Also T.C. Boyle's DROP CITY about a bunch of people on a commune in California who move it to Alaska. I thought it was a great novel.
