Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"This refreshing and illuminating account documents how militant black men, most of them working class and many of them military veterans, used armed self defense to supplement nonviolent direct action. Lance Hill treats their struggle with the analysis and respect it deserves and opens a new window into freedom movement history." - Michael Honey, University of Washington" Read more...
