Details

For a brief but brilliant season beginning in the late 1960s, American Indians seized national attention in a series of radical acts of resistance and forever changed the lives of Americans. Drawing on a wealth of archival material, interviews, and the authors' own experiences of these events, this is a rare, unflinchingly honest assessment of the seizure of Alcatraz, the storming of the Bureau Of Indian Affairs building on the eve of Nixon's re-election in 1972, and AIM supported takeover of Wounded Knee by the Oglala Sioux, amongst others.
