War against the Panthers

a study of repression in America

Edición de la obra War against the Panthers

The actions undertaken by the U.S. government against the Black Panther Party illustrate not only the nature and extent of tactics the government will employ to crush dissident groups, but the seriousness with which the Party was perceived as a potential threat to those in power. There is no dispute that the Party suffered from more hostile and severe government acts directed against it than any domestic political organization in the twentieth century.
