Contact seller5-star sellerSoft cover. Condition: Poor. July 1974. Page 5/6 loose and front cover has substantial tear about 5" along the spine edge, could be taped repaired or better. Prairie Fire was a 188-page political manifesto published by the Weather Underground in 1974, articulating the radical splinter group's ideology, and endorsing revolutionar…y violence. "Prairie Fire" was distributed in radical bookstores, food coops, headshops, on college campuses and many other places that movement activists met. It was met with a combination of strong emotions throughout the Left. Ultimately, the ideological arguments articulated in "Prairie Fire" led to a new split in the Weather Underground, with some gravitating toward the "Prairie Fire Collective," which favored mass-based, above-ground revolutionary politics, and the "May 19th Communist Organization," which remained underground and pulled off the infamous Brinks robbery in 1981. In 1974 when "Prairie Fire" was written the Weather Underground had realized the shortcoming of there underground tactics in the previously stated sense. So "Prairie Fire", called for the creation of both mass and clandestine, or underground, organizations. The clandestine organizations would be in charge of the development and early creation of a people's militia, as well as carrying out previous underground tactics, and raising consciousness. That mass organization would support and encourage armed action to the mass of the public, in a more legitimized fashion. Under this ideology The Weather Underground could facilitate a far larger mass fallowing, while still advocating for a violent militant revolution. The name for the manifesto was derived from the writings of Chinese Communist revolutionary, Mao Zedong. In his "Little Red Book," he wrote, "a single spark can set a prairie fire" as an analogy for revolution. The manifesto encourages a mix of mass-organizing and clandestine revolutionary violence. "Never disassociate mass struggle from revolutionary violence," the author's argued. "To leave people unprepared to fight the state," they said, "is to seriously mislead them about the inevitable nature of what lies ahead." Abbie Hoffman publicly praised Prairie Fire and believed every American should be given a copy. The manifesto's influence initiated the formation of the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee in several American cities. Hundreds of above-ground activists helped further the new political vision of the Weather Underground. Essentially, after the 1969 failure of the Days of Rage to involve thousands of youth in massive street fighting, Weather renounced most of the Left and decided to operate as an isolated underground group. The decision to build only an underground group eventually caused the Weather Underground to lose sight of its commitment to mass struggle and made future alliances with the mass movement difficult and tenuous. By 1974, Weather had recognized this shortcoming and in Prairie Fire detailed a different strategy for the 1970s which demanded both mass and clandestine organizations. The role of the clandestine organization would be to build the "consciousness of action" and prepare the way for the development of a people's militia. Concurrently, the role of the mass movement (i.e., above-ground Prairie Fire collective) would include support for, and encouragement of, armed action. Such an alliance would, according to Weather, "help create the 'sea' for the guerrillas to swim in". The Prairie Fire Collective faction started to surrender to the authorities from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. The remaining Weather Underground members continued to attack U.S. institutions.

Contact seller5-star sellerTwo 8.5x11 inch handbills printed both sides, folded for mailing, about the raids on October 12th in Chicago, immediately following the "Days of Rage" protests. The first is in the form of a letter from Dohrn and Klonsky; the second (with some corner wear and a small stain) includes advice on security procedures. The letter begi…ns, "Brothers and Sisters, By now you have probably heard at least some of the details of the attack made on the SDS National Office May 12, the Mitchell raids, and the again escalated assaults on the black liberation struggle. The attack on the NO by police and firemen with axes and the arrest of five brothers on frame up charges alone meant raising bail of over $12,000. To understand the significance of this attack, we must see it in the context of a massive assault on the entire movement, especially the black and brown struggle for self-determination." The other handbill, headlined "Urgent RAIDS Urgent,"begins "The National Office of SDS was raided early Monday morning, May 12, by Chicago pigs and firemen who broke through the front door brutally attacked staff people and SDS members. Five brothers were dragged off to jail as they tried to protect the National Office from destruction." It goes on to warn that "Pigface Mitchell and the Justice Department gang are planning to begin a nationwide series of raids and arrests of as many as 500 people at over 50 cities and campuses within the next 10 days. The Man is moving to spread terror and to isolate the movement from the people, using the lie that 'disorders' are the work of a handful of militants rather than the consequences of decaying imperialism and the inability of the state to meet the just needs of the people. "SDS has been informed by sources within the administration that Attorney General Mitchell has the backing of Congress to institute a series of arrests directed at local leadership on phony charges ranging from sedition to narcotics. The average sentences they are shooting for will range around two years, with the minimum goal of six months-the immediate objective being the removal of these activists from schools and cities through the summer and especially through the fall. These arrests will be carried out by local law enforcement agencies; the charges will be city and state charges. in the main, but the orchestration comes from Washington.".

Add to basketEarly printing (same year as first), signed by Bernadine Dohrn and inscribed by Bill Ayers on the title page "With hope for a world at peace and in balance, Bill Ayers", and scarce thus. Dohrn and Ayers were co-leaders of the radical group Weather Underground, which sought to establish communism and fight imperialism in the Unit…ed States through any means necessary, including violent revolution. Originally called the Weathermen, after Bob Dylan's lyrics "you don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows", the Weather Underground began in 1969 as an offshoot from the Students for a Democratic Society. Prairie Fire is their manifesto, and the year following its publication, "the group had claimed credit for 25 bombings - including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, the California Attorney General's office, and a New York City police station" (FBI). The FBI vastly overestimated the size of the group, and dedicated a large amount of resources to capturing its leaders; Dohrn was among the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives throughout the early 1970s. Ayers and Dohrn explain in their introduction to Prairie Fire, which is named after the Chairman Mao letter "A Single Spark can Start a Prairie Fire", that their manifesto "is based on a belief that the duty of a revolutionary is to make the revolution. This is not an abstraction. It means that the struggle and risk and hard work and adversity will become a way of life, that the only certainty will be constant change, that the only possibilities are victory or death". "In an 186-page book called Prairie Fire - clandestinely printed by Weather, and clandestinely distributed with great success, despite the FBI - the leadership concluded that the only way to mount a revolution in the United States was to win over the American working class. The Prairie Fire Organizing Committee was founded to prepare the way. But Prairie Fire set off an ideological struggle within the Weather organization itself, one that culminated in the spring of 1976 in the triumph of the more radical wing, which insisted on continuing the guerrilla war. From late 1976 onward, those who favored an aboveground mass organization - including Jones, Dohrn, and Ayers - either drifted away from Weatherman or were expelled. The charge was 'rightist deviationism,' that is, moderation" (Eckstein). The distributor's advertisement slip, which calls for new recruits to join the group, has been taped to the title page of this copy. Arthur M. Eckstein, "How the Weather Underground Failed at Revolution and Still Changed the World", Time, 2 Nov. 2016; FBI, "Weather Underground Bombings", accessible online. Octavo. Illustrations throughout. Original red wrappers lettered in black. A couple of chips and closed tears at front wrapper, contents toned, else clean. A very good copy indeed.
