Have you ever wondered what fuels radicals to become what we call terrorists? Jason's new book, <em>The Revolutionists</em>, digs into the mindsets, characters, and global movements that blurred those lines in the 60s and 70s. In this episode we discuss the way revolutionary ideas—whether left-wing, right-wing, or religious—are often more fragmented than we realise. No monoliths here, just a wild mosaic of factions, motivations, and stories. These figures shaped today’s conflicts in ways many of us overlook—like Bin Laden’s rise from the chaos of that era.</p><p><br></p><p>Chalke History Festival is on from the 22nd through to the 28th of June grab tickets from <a href=\"https://www.chalkefestival.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.chalkefestival.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Grab a copy of The Revolutionists https://uk.bookshop.org/a/14692/9781529934540 </p><p><br></p><p>Keep up to date with Jason via</p><p>His Twitter: <a href=\"https://x.com/burke_jason\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://x.com/burke_jason</a> </p><p>The Guardian: <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/profile/jasonburke\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.theguardian.com/profile/jasonburke</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>If you want to get in touch with History with Jackson email: jackson@historywithjackson.co.uk</p><p><br></p><p>To support History with Jackson to carry on creating content subscribe to History with Jackson+ on Apple Podcasts or support us on our Patreon - https://patreon.com/HistorywithJackson?utm_medium=unknown&amp;utm_source=join_link&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&amp;utm_content=copyLink</p><p><br></p><p>To catch up on everything to do with History with Jackson head to www.HistorywithJackson.co.uk</p><p>Follow us on Facebook at @HistorywithJackson</p><p>Follow us on Instagram at @HistorywithJackson</p><p>Follow us on X/Twitter at @HistorywJackson</p><p>Follow us on TikTok at @HistorywithJackson</p>","author_name":"History with Jackson"}
