In 1970 Ulrike Meinhof abandoned a career as a political journalist to join the Red Army Faction. In an effort to understand how terrorism takes root, the author seeks a dispassionate view of Meinhof and a period when West Germany was declaring its own 'war on terror'. Ulrike Meinhof always remained a writer, and this book focuses on the role of language in her development and that of the RAF.

With a communicative approach to the phenomenon of terrorism and new archival sources, the book documents Meinhof's journalism and terrorism (1959-1976) and challenges many of the established narratives that have calcified around the story of Meinhof and the history of Germany's most infamous terrorist group.

This volume is dedicated to the study of artistic and historical documents that recall German left-wing terrorism in the 1970s. It is intended to contribute to a better understanding of this violent epoch in Germany's recent past and the many ways it is remembered. The cultural memory of the RAF past is a useful device to disentangle the complex relationship between terror and the arts. This bond has become a particularly pressing matter in an era of a new, so-called global terrorism when the culture industry is obviously fascinated with terror. Fourteen scholars of visual cultures and contemporary literature offer in-depth investigations into the artistic process of engaging with West Germany's era of political violence in the 1970s. The assessments are framed by two essays from historians: one looks back at the previously ignored anti-Semitic context of 1970s terrorism, the other offers a thought-provoking epilogue on the extension of the so-called Stammheim syndrome to the debate on the treatment of prisoners in Guantánamo Bay. The contributions on cultural memory argue that any future memory of German left-wing terrorism will need to acknowledge the inseparable bond between terror and the artistic response it produces.

First published in 1977 in the US and Britain to universal critical acclaim, Hitler's Children quickly became a world-wide best seller, translated into many other languages, including Japanese. It tells the story of the West German terrorists who emerged out of the 'New Left' student protest movement of the late 1960s. With bombs and bullets they started killing in the name of 'peace'. Almost all of them came from prosperous, educated families. They were 'Hitler's children' not only in that they had been born in or immediately after the Nazi period - some of their parents having been members of the Nazi party - but also because they were as fiercely against individual freedom as the Nazis were. Their declared ideology was Communism. They were beneficiaries of both American aid and the West German economic miracle. Despising their immeasurable gifts of prosperity and freedom, they 'identified' themselves with Third World victims of wars, poverty and oppression, whose plight they blamed on 'Western imperialism'. In reality, their terrorist activity was for no better cause than self-expression. Their dreams of leading a revolution were ended when one after another of them died in shoot-outs with the police, or was blown up with his own bomb, or was arrested, tried, and condemned to long terms of imprisonment. All four leaders of the Red Army Faction (dubbed 'the Baader-Meinhof gang' by journalists) committed suicide in prison.

[Truncated abstract] In October 2006, a fictional Ulrike Meinhof was confronted on stage in the premier of Elfriede Jelinek s Ulrike Maria Stuart with her elderly self (see cover image).1 The reminiscings of the old lady with a walking stick served to prompt a reflection on the historicity of West German terrorism and the immortality of the long-dead, founding generation of the Red Army Faction (RAF). This idea of immortality points to the current popular and scholarly fascination with the RAF and Ulrike Meinhof. Meinhof's fall from journalistic prominence, high-profile disappearance into the underground and role in the formation of the terrorist group were at once a tragic footnote to the waning student movement of the late 1960s and a preamble to the bloodiest decade in the postwar history of the Federal Republic. This thesis does not aim to retell her story, but to apply an understanding of terrorism as performative to her public persona, spanning any disjuncture between journalist and terrorist. Such an approach sits within a long tradition of research into terrorism in general that is only now being brought to bear on the West German example of the 1970s. Its application to Meinhof's journalism and terrorism in this thesis shifts the analysis from her biography, which has typically held sway, to her texts and her engagement with public discourse. In contrast to the all-too-prevalent desire to find the 'real' woman behind the terrorist, the simple assumption made here is that the real and historically important Ulrike Meinhof is not the pugnacious schoolgirl, orphaned teen, long-suffering wife, or single mother, but the public figure: the high-profile journalist, condemned terrorist and self-styled revolutionary ...

West Germany's terrorist period of the 1970s is still a troubling and fascinating subject for Germans, not least because of the high proportion of women involved, most notoriously Ulrike Meinhof. The present study examines the West German print media of the 1960s and 1970s, from the right-wing 'Bild' to the left-leaning 'Der Spiegel'to explore how violent women - both terrorists and others - were represented in image and text. This is the first book to explore print-media representations of German terrorism from an explicitly gendered perspective, and one of very few books in English to addres.
