ITEM OVERVIEW
A new edition of this celebrated study of 400 years, and four continents, of robbers and outlaws, avengers and champions of social justice. Robin Hood, Rob Roy, Jesse James, Sabaté, Pancho Villa, the Balkan haiduks, Indian Dacoits, and Brazilian congaceiros. For this new edition, Hobsbawn has substantially extended and revised the original 1969 text. It appears at a time when the disintegration of State power is once again introducing fertile conditions for banditry to flourish in many parts of the world.
