A new book explores the life of a Minnesota artist turned terrorist during the tumult of the 1970s.

"Not the Camilla We Knew: One Woman's Path from Small-town America to the Symbionese Liberation Army" looks at the short, complicated life of Camilla Hall. Its author, Rachael Hanel, is coming to Augustana University in Sioux Falls on Wednesday, May 3.

Patrick Hicks, Ph.D., is the chair of the English & Journalism Department at Augustana. He and Hanel join In the Moment to discuss how Hall's story offers a new look at the narrative of radicalization.
