I recently saw the critically acclaimed German film, "Der Baader Meinhof Komplex," which depicts the exploits of the Red Army Faction (RAF), the terrorist group responsible for the wave of radical violence that swept Western Europe during the 1970s and 1980s. Although the group survived into the 1990s, its heydays ended with the capture, the trial and the eventual prison suicide of its principle protagonists, Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof.
