Outlaws Of America

I am currently reading the book OUTLAWS OF AMERICA: The Weather Underground And The Politics Of Solidarity by Dan Berger (published by AK Press).

It is probably the best book I have read on The Weather Underground (along with The Way The Wind Blew).
Outlaws Of America presents WUO within the context of the political climate it existed in; not as some aberration.

I highly suggest reading the book (especially for all you White kids!).
I plan to use this "blog" as a sort of 'book report' of highlights in Outlaws.
