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 primitive resistance fighters. From Balkan haiduks to Brazilian cangaçeiros, Robin Hood to Jesse James, their spectacular exploits have been celebrated and preserved in story and myth.
