Synopsis

The youngest member of the Black Panther Party's inner circle during the black liberation movement, Flores Alexander Forbes shares the hard lessons he learned. His memoir tells the story of a determined young man entrenched in the Panther culture and entrusted with their deepest secrets. Leading a life as turbulent as the tides of social turmoil, Forbes risked everything for what he believed to be the greater good - from living underground as a murder suspect to reemerging and doing his time in jail. An exceptional coming-of-age story of rage and redemption.

Review:

"[A] blistering account...in lean, aggressive prose, shifting seamlessly between articulate circumspection and the hard-edged slang of his characters." - San Francisco Chronicle

"In unparalleled detail, we are given the inside story...The case [Forbes's] book makes against the Black Panther legend [is] hard to dismiss." - The New York Times Book Review

"Reads like a modern-day Crime and Punishment" - Publishers Weekly
