"We can infer the middle-class (rather than prole) origins of most terrorist groups by their habit of leaving behind, after their outrages, communiqués rather than notes, or even messages." (Paul Fussell, Class, 1983)

By the way, I also find it interesting that the name of the author is pronounced fossil.

Well, the book does have a quaint, anachronistic feel to it. Although because the book was written during the triumphant reign of Reagan, the author's fear of "prole drift" was not that unjustified.
