Weatherman

John Mitchell and J. Edgar Hoover have declared Weatherpeople to be outlaws in America and have mobilized the vast police powers of the state against them. Nevertheless, Weatherman carries out its underground activities with relative impunity: as the level of repression has grown, so too has the number and sophistication of Weatherman bombings. And this is likely to continue. This book is about these mother country revolutionaries. It describes and analyzes who they are, how they emerged, the actions they have taken, and the nature of their politics. The first complete picture of Weatherman in the words of those who theorized, those who acted and those who watched it all - from the SDS split in June of 1969 to the bombings in June, 1970. Selected by Harold Jacobs, who provides his own analysis, the book includes the original Weather-statement, photographs of Weatherman actions, and articles by Eldridge Cleaver, Tom Hayden, Andrew Kopkind, David Horowitz, Carl Oglesby, I. F. Stone, Bernadine Dohrn and many more. Pt.1.
