Synopsis
Bandits is a study of the social bandit or bandit-rebel - robbers and outlaws who are not regarded by public opinion as simple criminals, but rather as champions of social justice, as avengers or as primitive resistance fighters.
Whether Balkan haiduks, Indian dacoits or Brazilian congaceiros, their spectacular exploits have been celebrated and preserved in story and myth. Some are known only to their own countrymen; others, like Robin Hood, Rob Roy and Jesse James, are famous throughout the world. Setting the historical figures against the ballads, legends and films they have inspired, the author's examples range across the last four hundred years and come from Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.

About the Author
Eric Hobsbawm taught until retirement at Birkbeck College, University of London, and since then at the New School for Social Research in New York.
Review
"An utterly fascinating book."
—THE NEW YORKER
"A wise as well as exciting book; a very valuable addition to the history of mentalities and to that of popular protest... This is human history at its very best."
—THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT [London]
"A dazzling historical squib, fizzing with ideas and strange stories."
—THE GUARDIAN
"In an age of narrow specialists, Eric Hobsbawm remains the supreme generalist... For sheer intelligence he has no superior in the historical profession."
—SIR KEITH THOMAS
