This book is so incredibly well written and easy to read while conveying such important information. Everyone should read this, especially with the context that Assata is still wanted by the FBI with a bounty of a million dollars. Can be pretty heavy emotionally but definitely worth it. Not to mention the policy that is implied in her experiences, from communism to prison abolition, assata does not need to explain these issues as her lived experiences which she so expertly writes about are, in my opinion, enough to convince anyone.
I would easily give this book a 6/5 if I could

If I ever had the ability to write a syllabus of the most important books I have read, this would be among the top. Obviously it's a really important book for political reasons, but also it's written in such a beautiful and compelling way. I am so glad she is free.
I highlighted a bunch of this and may share some of my favourite quotes later.
