Title: Black Panthers for beginners
Description: "A crowd of onlookers gawked from the sidewalk as four young black men dressed in black leather jackets and berets leaped from a Volkswagen, each of them wielding shotguns with bandoliers strapped across their bodies.  The young men surrounded two white police officers who had accosted a black man and had him spread-eagled against a building.  The young men did not say a word as the police officers watched them nervously, their eyes fixed on the shotguns.  One of the young men held a large law book in his hand...  This was the Black Panther Party in ideal action.  The real story--the whole story--was both more and less heroic."--Back cover.
