In this brilliant compilation of political voices, Angela Davis provides a comprehensive account and analysis of her experience as the target of a malicious political framework. Her arrest and ensuing trial are chronologued within these pages alongside contributions and testimonies from other members of the struggle for liberation. "It will not suffice to have this collection read and approved. It will not suffice even to mouth slogan and rhetoric. Even Richard Nixon now says 'Power to the Peaple.' What is wanted for the subjects of this book, and for the 'army of the wronged' not mentioned in these pages, is concerted and organized action" (Julian Bond).
