Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P. Newton

4.0

An interesting first-person narrative from the famous co-founder of the Black Panther Party about his life, his radicalization, and what it was like to see the Panthers rise and ultimately fall. It's very detailed, sometimes to the point of tangents and boredom, but overall, an interesting story. I'm always fascinated with stories about big social movements from the past, especially the BPP, as it was the last major left wing mass movement since the present day. I think we have a lot to learn, both in what to do and in what not to do, from them. I think this book goes a decent way towards that.
