Der RAF-Prozess von Stammheim

Stammheim and the RAF – topics that continue to stir emotions to this day. Lawyers, historians, the media and politicians are still grappling with the interpretation of the most controversial trial in post-war history. Criminologist Maximilian Radmann now raises many questions that have not been addressed before: Could the trial have been successful at all? Did the rule of law reach its limits in Stammheim? What role did the state, those involved, the media and society play? And above all, what lessons can and must be learned from the relentless conflict in Stammheim? Using extensive trial records, original audio tapes and media reports, Radmann finds answers to these questions.
