John Mitchell and J. Edgar Hoover have declared Weatherpeople to be outlaws in America and have mobilized the vast police powers of the state against them. Nevertheless, Weatherman carries out its underground activities with relative impunity: as the level of repression has grown, so too has the number and sophistication of Weatherman bombings. And this is likely to continue. This book is about these mother country revolutionaries. It describes and analyzes who they are, how they emerged, the actions they have taken, and the nature of their politics. The first complete picture of Weatherman in the words of those who theorized, those who acted and those who watched it all - from the SDS split in June of 1969 to the bombings in June, 1970. Selected by Harold Jacobs, who provides his own analysis, the book includes the original Weather-statement, photographs of Weatherman actions, and articles by Eldridge Cleaver, Tom Hayden, Andrew Kopkind, David Horowitz, Carl Oglesby, I. F. Stone, Bernadine Dohrn and many more.

Biographies

On October 28, 1967, at approximately 5:00 AM, in the depths of Oakland's black ghetto, Police Officer John Frey was shot to death and Police Officer Herbert Heanes was severely wounded. Less than an hour later the suspected killer, Huey P. Newton, co-founder and leader of the Black Panther Party, was arrested in the emergency room of an Oakland hospital, suffering from a painful wound in the abdomen.  Newton was indicted on three counts: murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and the kidnapping of a civilian in making his escape from the scene of the killing. On July 15, 1968, Newton's trial began, amid the cries of "Free Huey!" and "Cop Killer!". This book, written by one of Newton's defense lawyers, tells the complete story, from the shooting in the ghetto to the jury's verdict. On the evidence produced by the author, it is clear that Newton was the innocent victim of injustice. A question raised in this extraordinary book is whether or not the prosecution knew that it was prosecuting an innocent man. The author claims that the District Attorney knew Newton was innocent but prosecuted him for political reasons. Another question raised in the book is whether a black man can receive justice in the courts of this country. The answer given by the author is a resounding no! Finally, after proclaiming Newton's innocence, Keating suggests the various possibilities of who might have killed Officer Frey and wounded Officer Heanes. He also demands that Newton's name be cleared.

This provocative study examines the far-reaching influence of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Theodore G. Vincent details UNIA’s origins and clarifies the many myths and controversies surrounding the organization and its founder. Initially written to explore the black militancy movement of the 1920s from the point of view of the Black Power struggles of the 1960s, the author’s new introduction adds a 21st-century perspective.

Strictly Ghetto Property: The Story of Los Siete de la Raza

Heins, Marjorie

George Smith spent two years as a POW moving from camp to camp in the middle of the jungle. Impressed from the beginning by Vietcong military proficiency, he slowly overcame his Green Beret "arrogance" and learned to see the VC as people-warm, just, humane, sincere and so hily motivated that they seemed a different culture from the troops he was sent to train.
