This was a great collection of essays about race, politics, the criminal justice system, and life on death row. Abu-Jamal is a brilliant, intelligent man and his story is a tragic case of injustice. Listening to him read some of the essays on the CD included with the book is even more powerful. It’s no wonder the powers that be want such a strong, beautiful, revolutionary voice silenced.

A book for my "Political Violence and Revolution" class in college. This one has made a lasting impact. I have gone online to look at both sides of this story, and on the other side is a family who lost a loved one. It's sad. I think there is good evidence that Mumia didn't receive a fair trial, but I also think there's some good evidence that he did in fact commit the crime or was an accomplice. No matter what, the book is one that stayed with me and it's a "thinking" book, that's for sure.
