"The author relies on skilled, detailed research to outline both

intriguing history that holds relevance to domestic terrorism in
our current era."
-- "Kirkus Reviews"
"This fascinating chronicle of a dark slice of American history
deserves a wide audience. "
-- "Publishers Weekly"
"This multifaceted work will appeal to readers with an interest in
U.S. national security, U.S. domestic terrorism, radical left-wing
militancy, and U.S. law enforcement."
-- "Library Journal"
"William Rosenau's Tonight We Bombed the U.S. Capitol is . . . a
reminder that, while right-wing extremism may be plaguing our
nation now, there was a time when the left was just as dangerous.
And far more invisible." -- "NY Daily News"
"Written by counterterrorism expert and former RAND political
scientist William Rosenau, Tonight We Bombed the U.S. Capitol tells
the compelling and sobering tale of M19 with hardly a hint of the
sensationalism its bombastic title promises. . . . It's to
Rosenau's credit that his account of deeply sobering political
violence proves consistently compelling without ever striving to
titillate, exploit, or entertain."-- "New York Journal of
Books"
"Bill Rosenau has unearthed the extraordinary tale of a group of
ordinary American women who became terrorists and went to war
against the United States government. It's a deeply researched and
well-written account of a group of true believers who waged a
terrifying terrorist campaign in America."--Peter Bergen, author of
United States of Jihad
"I was blown away. Tonight We Bombed the U.S. Capitol is simply one
of the most entertaining and intriguing books I've read in quite
some time."--Sean McFate, author of The New Rules of War
"Terrorism has a long history in the United States. And no one has
done a better job than William Rosenau in recounting one of its
more fascinating episodes--the bombing campaign waged by a
terrorist group of white American women known as M19. Tonight We
Bombed the U.S. Capitol is a gripping account of this hitherto
forgotten terrorist campaign that culminated in the 1983 attack on
our most revered edifices. Rosenau has produced the authoritative
account of the group, its members, operations, and
consequences."--Bruce Hoffman, author of Inside Terrorism and
professor, Georgetown University
"This book is a journey both delightful and horrifying through a
story that was never even remembered by most, much less forgotten.
Anyone interested in terrorism and the modern security state, or
just a good yarn, will love this book."--Ryan Evans, CEO and editor
in chief of War on the Rocks and publisher of Texas National
Security Review
