The Hilton Bombing: Evan Pederick and the Ananda Marga Kindle Edition

The terrorist turned reverend: a remarkable story told for the first time.

In 1978, Evan Pederick, a naive 22-year-old in the thrall of a radical religious movement, Ananda Marga, placed an enormous bomb outside Sydney’s Hilton Hotel. It killed three people.

A decade later, Pederick confessed to this act of terrorism. But when one of his alleged accomplices was later acquitted, significant parts of Pederick’s testimony were undermined and he was accused of being a ‘fantasist’.

Conspiracy theories flooded in to fill the vacuum. Was it a plot by ASIO, rather than, as Pederick asserted, a plot to assassinate the Indian prime minister? In the absence of a Royal Commission or similar inquiry, mystery continues to shroud the deadliest terror attack on Australian soil.

Pederick, an Anglican priest, stands by his confession and testimony. Here is his story, told for the first time.

It is an extraordinary tale of guilt, remorse, renewal, and the search for forgiveness.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rehash of Pederick's writings
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2019
Not really a biography of another person, but more like a rehash of Pederick's own notes or manual.
Hidden behind it all is an implicit support for BIG orthodox religion, while alternatives get little credence.
And, it is not explained from where the gelignite came from. It just suddenly is delivered or obtained, but with no indication of source. It doesn't make sense unless some indication of this is given in the book. Cannot find it.

Honest, raw and brave: tragedy that is a snare for Idealism which is very difficult to work through and maintain hope in humanity.
