Review
"Bisson's quick jabs to the funny bone and the intellect are more powerful than many a lesser artist's attempt at a knockout punchand bespeak a remarkable creativity." -- San Diego Union-Tribune
"Bisson's work is a fresh, imaginative attempt to confront some of the problems of our time..." -- Washington Post Book World
GrippingThis book opens an important window on the life of a brilliant and uncompromising dissident. -- Tom Morello, Rage Against the Machine
Practically everyone has heard of Mumia, and whenever his name is invoked, controversy ensues. Bisson has crafted a powerful book. I couldn't put it down. -- Sister Helen Prejean, author, Dead Man Walking
The next time you see Mumia demonized in the mainstream media, pick up this book. It chronicles the evolution of an eloquent advocate for the damned. -- Martin Espada, author, Zapata's Disciple
To read this book is to gain deep insights into issues of race and poverty -and the pretenses of our nation with regard to equal justice before the law. -- Howard Zinn, author, A People's History of the US
