The Revolutionary Suicide - Huey P. Newton

Eloquently chronicling the birth and formation of a revolutionary, Huey P. Newton's autobiography is both a gripping manifesto and an intimate portrait of the organization of the Black Panther Party. From his impoverished childhood on the streets of Oakland to the struggles against American apartheid, from his leading role in the Black Panthers to his trial and imprisonment in Alameda County, Revolutionary Suicide is a powerful testament to the grassroots and political struggles for black self-defense and liberation.

"I don't think life will change for the better without a struggle against the power in place that perpetuates the exploitation of the wretched of the earth. This belief is at the heart of the concept of revolutionary suicide. So, it is better to oppose the forces that would lead me to kill myself than to endure them."
