4.9/5 (20383 ratings)

Description:"Opening at the end of 1969, the Chicago Eight trial brought Yippies, antiwar activists, and Black Panthers to face conspiracy charges arising from the massive protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The eight defendants openly lampooned the proceedings, blowing kisses to the jury, wearing their own judicial robes, and bringing a Viet Cong flag into the courtroom. Eventually the judge ordered Seale, a leader of the Black Panthers, bound and gagged for insisting on representing himself. And an array of celebrity witnesses appeared, including Timothy Leary, Norman Mailer, Arlo Guthrie, and Allen Ginsberg, (who provoked the prosecution by chanting "Om" on the witness stand)." This book, combining an abridged transcript of the trial with astute commentary by historian Jon Wiener, brings to life a remarkable episode from the famed 1960s. An afterword by Tom Hayden examines the trial's relevance for activists today, and drawings by Jules Feiffer help re-create the electrifying atmosphere of the courtroom.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
