Whether Balkan haiduks, Indian dacoits or Brazilian congaceiros, their spectacular exploits have been celebrated and preserved in story and myth. Some are only know to their fellow countrymen; others like Rob Roy, Robin Hood and Jesse James are famous throughout the world.  First published in 1969, Bandits inspired a new field of historical study: bandit history.  This substantially extended and revised new edition appears at a time when the disintegration of state power has reintroduced fertile conditions for banditry once again to flourish in many parts of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41089491042348,"sku":"9780349113029","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780349113029.jpg?v=1759665696","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780349113029","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
