Are you referring to this book:
Days of Rage: America's Radical Underground, the FBI, and the Forgotten Age of Revolutionary Violence is a 2015 book by Bryan Burrough about American left-wing political violence in the 1970s. The book discusses the Weather Underground, Black Liberation Army, Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña and other groups. Burrough's perspective is generally sympathetic to the law enforcement officials who pursued these groups. - Wikipedia

I lived through the era as a high school and college student. Left-wing agitation and violence in the 60s and 70s was a serious problem for the US. The apparent focus was on the Vietnam war and race relations but the movement was led by communists who were trying to brew up a revolution, overthrow the US government, and radically remake the country.

Yes, it’s generally accurate.

I’ve read it twice and enjoyed it both times. I believe it is good history.
