The Red Army Faction or Baader-Meinhof Group (1970-98) has been
the subject of a very large number of German novels, from serious
literary fiction to best-selling thrillers. Through an analysis of
plot lines, recurrent character types, narrative disavowals and
omissions, and adaptations of national classics, this study reveals
an unease at the heart of the democratic settlement in the Federal
Republic. Julian Preece sheds new light on the emotional character
of postwar Germany, its uneasy relationship with its own past and
the authority of the state. This book is the first to examine this
rich literary corpus, treating it as a political unconscious which
expresses submerged anxieties and moral blind-spots in Europe's
most powerful country.
