Granny Made Me An Anarchist
Interesting and sometimes disturbing memoir of ideas, activism, establishment plots, political imprisonment and other events in the life of a young Glaswegian anarchist in the 1960's and 70's.
Those were times when so many young people really wanted things to change and didn't want to wait. I do know, I was there for some of it. Things certainly have changed, but not necessarily in all the ways which we hoped for.
Plenty of relevant detail in this well-researched, heartfelt and thoughtful book which anyone seriously interested in UK politics and activism in those times should read. This history isn't covered in conventional reports.

And the title is great!
