BANDITS is a study of the social bandit or rebel-bandit - bandits and outlaws who are not regarded as mere criminals, but rather as heroes of social justice, avengers, or primitive resistance fighters. Whether it is the Balkan haiduks, the Indian dacoits, or the Brazilian congaceiros, their spectacular exploits have been celebrated and preserved in stories and myths. Some are only known to their compatriots, while others, like Rob Roy, Robin Hood, and Jesse James, are famous worldwide. First published in 1969, BANDITS inspired a new field of historical study: the history of banditry. This significantly revised new edition is released at a time when the disintegration of state power has reignited feelings for the flourishing of banditry in many regions of the world.
