patrickmcguire's review against another edition
4.0
This is the follow-up to Churchill and van der Wall's "Agents of Repression: The FBI's Secret War on the Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement". As such, it is mostly documents with enough narrative to tie it together. I would recommend "Agents.." over this, but there is more than enough in here to paint a pretty damning picture of political policing in the USA. Specifically, the authors argue that COINTELPRO type programs continued on through the 70's and beyond (even after the public revelations about COINTELPRO against the Panthers). Good stuff.
