Seize the Time: The Story of the Black Panther Party and Huey P. Newton

"Bobby Seale, Chairman of the Black Panther Party, defendant in the Chicago conspiracy case, and one of the New Haven Panther 14, writes from jail about himself, his party, and its leadership — the black men who have changed themselves, have changed America, and in the course of it, have caused an enormous controversy about our liberties and institutions."—From the dust-jacket front flap.
