""All interested in the destiny of the Black Liberation Movement and the struggle for socialism in the U.S. should welcome this edition of this classic text by the justly heralded 'Black Bolshevik' himself, Harry Haywood. The value of this marvelous and stimulating volume is enhanced by the moving words of his daughter, Rebecca Hall, and the fighting antifascist spirit of the rising star: Charisse Burden-Stelly.""  —Gerald Horne, author and historian
