The Black Panthers are a very misunderstood group. This is especially true when it comes to the leadership of the organization. Huey Newton's autobiography "Revolutionary Suicide" explains his life, "To Die For the People" explains his worldview and shows the deductive processes by which he led the Black Party organization.
The book is a collection of speeches throughout his life as leader. It is a fascinating testament to what the party stood for and what Huey himself believed in. It allows the reader to judge the Black Panther Party, and Huey Newton for themselves. It is a must read for anyone intersted in history of the African American advancement movement.
