The first tells of a white middle-class kid growing up in 1950s America who goes to an integrated high school and has his world turned around; the second of a young man who overcomes a near-fatal disease and jumps with both feet into the heady swirl of Berkeley in the sixties; and the third of a radical activist who matures into a tempered revolutionary communist leader. If you think about the past or if you urgently care about the future ... if you want to hear a unique voice of utter realism and deep humanity ... and if you dare to have your assumptions challenged and your stereotypes overturned ... then take a look at this book.--From publisher description. 600 10 $a Avakian, Bob. 650 0 $a Communists $z United States $v Biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825085421.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6F82F6D02B0911DEBA4F1C08A8D7520A 994 $a 03 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
