description: Kathy Boudin was the most prominent political fugitive of her time. The Big Dance was the code name a group of young radicals gave to the planned armed robbery of $1,600,000 from a Brink's truck. The book is a moment-by-moment retelling of that robbery. It resulted in the killing of 2 police officers and a Brink's guard—and the capture of Kathy Boudin, who'd been in hiding over a decade, ever since she ran naked into the streets when a Weather Underground bomb factory exploded in the middle of New York City. The author reveals how and why a girl of the 1960s generation who had everything going for her, chose guns instead of flowers.
