Product Description
Outraged by the Vietnam War and racism in America, a group of young American radicals announced their intention to "bring the war home." The Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 1970s, bombing the Capitol building, breaking Timothy Leary out of prison, and evading one of the largest FBI manhunts in history. Sing a Battle Song brings together the three complete and unedited publications produced by the Weatherman during their most active period underground, 1970 to 1974: The Weather Eye:Communiques from the Weather Underground; Prairie Fire:The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism; and Sing a Battle Song:Poems by Women in the Weather Underground Organization .Sing a Battle Song is introduced and annotated by three of the Weather Underground's original organizers-Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, and Jeff Jones-all of whom are all still actively engaged in social justice movement work. Bernardine Dohrn, who during her years underground was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, today is a child advocate and professor of children's law and international human rights. Bill Ayers, education professor and author of numerous books on democratic education is the author of a memoir, Fugitive Days. Jeff Jones, an environmentalist, fights global warming and other environmental threats that disproportionately harm the lives of the world's poor.Idealistic, inspired, pissed-off, and often way-over-the-top, the writings of the Weather Underground epitomizes the sexual, psychedelic, anti-war counterculture of the American 1960s and 1970s.

Geshmak December 9, 2006
7 out of 14 found this review helpful
"Geshmak" is Yiddish for "delicious," and it's the only way I can describe this collection. I don't have it yet, but I have the three works that comprise it. There'll be plenty of bs reviews here about WUO rhetoric and left wing craziness, but O had that rhetoric seeped into the heads of every Amerikkkan and O had that craziness infected the whole country. Maybe we'll all be bi, tie-dye, and high by now. It'd be a helluva lot better than all these yellow-ribbons and dead kids in the mid-east (not to mention in midwest high-school shooting sprees). G-d this country sux. And recuerdate kids ... this is a review from an Nice Orthodox Jewish Boy. I should be all up in the right wing heterosexist neo-creationist war-in going down in the Yoo Ess Ay these days, but I ain't.
