First edition of the first comprehensive overview and analysis of the history and politics of the Black Panther Party. Octavo, original boards. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Patrick Liem.

Informed by twelve years of archival research and endowed by the George Gund Foundation for the advancing of the understanding of African American history, culture, and current issues, 'Black Against Empire' analyzes key political questions of the Panther era that others have failed to address. "This is the book we've all been waiting for: the first complete history of the Black Panther Party, devoid of the hype, the nonsense, the one-dimensional heroes and villains, the myths, or the tunnel vision that has limited scholarly and popular treatments across the ideological spectrum" (Robin D. G. Kelley, author of 'Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination').
