Near Fine Condition, original unclipped dust jacket protected in Mylar.
Revolutionary Suicide is an autobiography written by Huey P. Newton.
Newton was a major figure in the American black liberation movement and in the wider 1960s counterculture. He was a co-founder and leader of what was then known as the Black Panther Party with Bobby Seale. The Party urged members to challenge the status quo with armed patrols of the impoverished streets of Oakland, and to form coalitions with other oppressed groups.
The party spread across America and internationally as well, forming coalitions with the Vietnamese, Chinese, and Cubans. This autobiography is an important work that combines political manifesto and political philosophy along with the life story of a young African American revolutionary.
The book was not universally well received but has had a lasting influence on the black civil rights movement.
