About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

David Gilbert is an American radical leftist organizer and activist who is currently imprisoned at Auburn Correctional Facility. Gilbert was a founding member of Columbia University Students for a Democratic Society and member of the Weather Underground Organization. After about ten years underground, he was arrested in October 1981, along with members of the Black Liberation Army and other radicals including Kathy Boudin, his partner and mother of Chesa Boudin. The details of his arrest are included in the entry on Kathy Boudin in the section entitled "1981 Brinks Robbery." He and she both participated in that robbery and were sent to prison for their part in the resulting murders of Nyack police officers Waverly Brown and Edward O'Grady and Brinks guard Peter Paige. (In 2004 the US Post Office in Nyack was renamed in honor of the slain men.)

a great resource for a shorter and very thoughtful reflection on white anti-imperialism in the 60s-80s as well as strategizes for organizing in a conservative or non-revolutionary time. its the first longer writing i'd read from Marilyn buck and her words are very powerful.

I think that the 3rd author/interviewee is actually Laura Whitehorn, not Marilyn Buck a 2nd time.
