Different Perspective,

This review is from: SDS/WUO, Students For A Democratic Society And The Weather Underground Organization (Paperback)
If you are studying this topic (the 60's and American Universities) as part of a college course (which I was), this gives a different, interesting historical perspective than what is written in texts about the times.

This review is from: SDS/WUO, Students For A Democratic Society And The Weather Underground Organization (Paperback)
For my college age son, who, like me before him, is an active idealist wanting to make a difference! This will help.

Just read Wikipedia,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SDS/WUO, Students For A Democratic Society And The Weather Underground Organization (Paperback)
This was the shortest, most terse overview of the SDS/WU I have ever read. I think I should have saved the $4 and just read the Wikipedia article; I would have gotten ten times the information than what is presented here. Yes, it is written by a jailed member of the WU, but his descriptions are incredibly brief and mediocre. It really isn't worth the money I paid for it, but I guess it is a unique pamphlet to own.
