The three publications - The Weather Eye, Prairie Fire, and Sing a Battle Song - produced by the Weather Underground during their most active period are collected here in their original form for the first time. This volume offers insight into a critical moment in American history when outrage against the Vietnam War and racism at home led a group of radical students to "bring the war home" in a series of bombings that brought on one of the largest manhunts in FBI history. The minds and motivations, hopes and fears of the infamous Weathermen are documented here in their own uncensored words and communications. Introduced and annoted by three of the Weathermen's most influential organizers and national leaders of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) - this book finds the intractable voices of the Weather Underground forever idealistic, inspired, and enraged, epitomizing the counterculture of the American 1960s and 1970s. 390 pages, with black & white photographs. Stated First Edition No Jacket Soft Cover 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall New
