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

And Wikipedia is a known leftist POV-supporting site.

Yes, that book.

I haven’t read wikipedia, but in the introduction, the author wrote that when he used to call these radicals, he said, “I believe politically the opposite things that you do. Would you agree to tell me about the Days of Rage and what you did then?”.

The author’s voice is in the book and it is disapproving.

I thought that maybe someone with some knowledge, who has read the book, can comment. Something like “I was an East Coast cop at the time and this story is true and this is a lie”.
