Additional Details

First edition. Includes several of Newton's "greatest hits," including "Huey Newton to the Republic of New Africa," 13 September 1969; "Message . . . on the Peace Movement"; "Prison, Where is Thy Victory?"; "Huey Newton Talks to The Movement"; "Functional Definition of Politics"; "The Genius of Huey P. Newton"; and the October 1966 Black Panther party Platform. Eldridge Cleaver writes in a 2 January 1970 introduction: "One can picture Huey as he was when he wrote them: hard pressed by pigs who he knew were plotting to kill him. With pigs breathing down his neck, Huey was racing against time that had almost run out to get the information down on paper. . . . Let no one think that the Black Panther Party has relinquished its demand that Huey be set free." Illustrated with photographs of Newton and a portrait by Emory Douglas.
